SuperDock Lite

A dock you build yourself. The apps, folders, files and websites you actually use — one click away, wherever you want them on screen — with focus timers, sticky notes, a Bento launcher and an advanced colour picker built in.

A dock that goes where you do

Everything you open,
one click away

A second dock you build yourself — apps, folders, files and websites — sitting exactly where you want it.

  • Any edge of any screen, or free-floating
  • Hides itself until you reach for it
  • Always on top of your other windows
  • Works across multiple screens and spaces

Put anything on it

Apps, folders, files
and links — together

Drag something in, or pick it from a panel. The dock grows to fit, and every tile carries its real icon.

  • Drag straight from Finder
  • Real app and file artwork
  • Pictures show a thumbnail
  • Websites keep their favicon

Bento

A whole project
behind one tile

Gather the folder, the notes and the two sites you always open together. Lift the lid and take one thing — or open the lot at once.

  • One tile, as many things as you like
  • Open all with a single click
  • Add files, folders, apps or websites

Focus timers

Pomodoro, without
another app

Twenty-five minutes of deep work, five to breathe. Run up to three at once and watch them count down from the dock itself.

  • 25, 5, 15 — or any length you like
  • Run up to three at once
  • Keeps running when the panel is closed
  • A ring on the dock shows the time left
  • A soft chime when it ends — snooze or dismiss

QuickNotes

The thought you
would otherwise lose

Sticky notes and a to-do list, one click from the dock. Type it now, find it later.

  • Sticky notes, one click from the dock
  • A to-do list beside them
  • Search across everything you have written
  • Pin the panel to keep it in view

Folder stacks

Look inside without
opening Finder

Turn any folder tile into a stack and browse it right there. Open what you need, or reveal it in Finder.

  • Browse folders in place
  • Filter a long folder by typing
  • Drop files onto a tile to file them away

Colour picker

Grab any colour
on your screen

Point at anything, anywhere, and the hex lands on your clipboard. Collect colours into named palettes as you go.

  • Single pick, or keep picking
  • Save into palettes you name
  • Copy the set as a list or as CSS
  • No screen-recording permission needed

Yours to shape

Twelve themes, any
size, any edge

Set the tint from a colour you picked yourself. Scale the icons, widen the dock, hide it until you need it. Narrow it past the width of the icons and the dock becomes a thin spine with the icons sitting on top of it.

  • Twelve themes, light and dark
  • Tint it with your own colours
  • Left, right, top or free-floating
  • As narrow as you like — even thinner than the icons

What it is

Your Dock holds apps.
This holds everything else.

The things you actually open

The folders you live in, the files you keep reopening, the sites you check every morning — one click away, wherever you want them on screen.

Built in seconds

Drag something in from Finder, or pick it from a panel. There is nothing to configure before it is useful.

Real icons, not placeholders

Apps look like apps, pictures show a thumbnail, and websites keep their own favicon, so every tile is recognisable at a glance.

A Bento launcher

Gather the folder, the notes and the two sites you always open together behind one tile. Lift the lid and take one thing, or open the lot at once.

Focus built in

Twenty-five minutes of deep work, five to breathe — or any length you name. Up to three timers at once, counting down on the dock itself, so you can see where you are without opening anything.

An advanced colour picker

Point at anything on screen and the hex lands on your clipboard. Keep picking, and collect a set into palettes you name — no screen-recording permission needed.

It never phones home

No account, no sign-in, no analytics, and no system permissions at all. SuperDock Lite collects nothing.

Good to know

What it needs,
and what it asks for.

Coming to
The Mac App Store

Lite versus the full version. SuperDock Lite is the Mac App Store edition. It is sandboxed to Apple's rules, so it asks your permission the first time it opens a folder you have pinned, and it asks for no system permissions at all. SuperDock, sold directly from this site, is not restricted by the App Store sandbox — it is still in the workshop.
