WormaDock looks and behaves like Apple's Dock. Magnification, bounce, autohide, stacks, menus and drag and drop use values read from the Dock itself. Then it adds what the Dock never had.
Free. macOS 26 Tahoe or later, Apple silicon.
The same Mac, the same apps, the same pointer path. One Dock is Apple's, one is WormaDock.
Each number comes from Dock.app, not from a screenshot.
The magnification curve, the bounce, the autohide timing, stack fans and grids, the menus and drag and drop all follow Dock.app on macOS 27 (Dock 1.8), read from the program itself.
Apple's Dock keeps running, hidden, for Mission Control, Spaces and Command-Tab. It gets its settings back the moment you quit WormaDock.
Hover a running app to see its windows. Click one to bring it forward. Tile the front window left, right, fill or center, or pull an app's windows onto this display, from the Dock.
Choose what a click and a scroll on a running app do: cycle its windows, minimize, open a new window, or open App Exposé.
Pin them like apps. Each one is a tile in the Dock; several can share a tile as a stack with Pro.
Drop an app on another to make a group. Add fixed and flexible spacers. Give any item a custom icon. Press Control-Option and a number to open an item. An All Apps tile lists every app, Launchpad style.
Folders open as a fan, a grid or a list, with Apple's geometry and Apple's animations. Drop files on a folder and Finder moves them.
Each display and Space keeps its own pinned items, or shows the profile you assign to it. Switch profiles with a hotkey, from the menu bar or with a swipe on the Dock. Part of WormaDock Pro.
Add the WormaDock filter to a Focus and that Focus shows the profile you chose. When it ends, the Dock goes back. Part of WormaDock Pro.
Everything Apple's Dock does stays free. Pro adds docks that change with context, and widgets and groups that open in place.
