macOS gives you one dock, on one screen, in one shape. Dockyard gives you as many as you like — pinned to any edge, floating anywhere, on any display — each with its own apps, its own look, and icons you design yourself.
Nothing to learn. Make one, drop apps on it, put it where you want it.
Click New dock. It appears straight away with a few apps in it, ready to change.
Drag apps, folders or files straight onto the dock, or search every app on your Mac by name and press Return.
Any edge, any screen, horizontal or vertical — or let it float, and drag it wherever you like.
Design each icon, give it a label, and decide what a click actually does.
Everything below is in the app today.
Each one is separate: its own apps, colours, size, position and behaviour. A rail of editing tools on the left, a row of everyday apps at the bottom, a project dock that only appears when you reach for it.
Pin to the top, bottom, left or right, or float anywhere and drag it into place. Assign a dock to a specific display and it stays there.
Pick a colour or drop in your own artwork, add a symbol or two letters, and write a short label across the icon — so a folder link says 2026 Weddings rather than showing yet another blue folder.
Point an icon at a Shortcut, a script, or a Terminal command and it runs on click. Test it right there in the editor before you commit.
Give any dock a key combination that shows it, hides it, or collapses it — from inside any app, without touching the mouse.
Auto-hide until the pointer reaches the edge, with the reveal and hide delays under your control. Collapse a whole dock into a single button. Hide automatically while an app is full screen.
Put a folder on a dock and click it for a pop-out grid of what's inside. Open any item from there, or jump to it in Finder.
Drop files onto an app icon to open them with it — a project folder onto your editor, a clip onto your player. Drop onto empty space to add, drag icons to reorder.
Docks are not just apps. Drop in CPU, memory, disk, battery or network readings, a timer, a clock, your clipboard history, a shelf to park files on, a scratchpad, or a colour picker that samples any pixel on screen. All of those work with no permissions and no network at all.
Your next calendar event, what's due in Reminders, what's playing in Music or Spotify, the weather, a screenshot button, and a reading pulled from any JSON endpoint — stars, visitors, revenue, whatever you track. Each says up front what it needs, and asks only when you first click it.
Unplug a monitor and its docks quietly disappear. Plug it back in and they return to exactly the same spot.
Folders all look the same, and half your apps ship with an icon you would never choose. Dockyard's icon studio fixes one icon at a time — colour or your own artwork, a symbol or your initials, and a label written across the bottom so you know exactly what it is.
One payment, no subscription, no licence key to keep track of. Buy it and the download page opens the moment Stripe is done — the app is signed and notarised by Apple, so it opens without a warning. Updates for version 1 are included.
No, and it doesn't try to. Your own Dock stays exactly as it is — Dockyard adds docks alongside it. If you want the Mac's Dock out of the way, set it to auto-hide in System Settings and use Dockyard's instead.
No. It's a small native app — no Electron, no browser engine, nothing running in the background but the docks themselves.
Dockyard itself needs none — no Accessibility, no Screen Recording, no Full Disk Access. Global shortcuts use the system's own hot-key API, which asks for nothing, and every widget in the first group above runs entirely on your Mac.
Four widgets do ask, and only if you add them: calendar and reminders ask macOS for read-only access, Now Playing asks for permission to talk to Music or Spotify, and the screenshot button needs Screen Recording, as any capture tool does. Nothing is requested until the first time you click that widget.
Only two widgets, both optional. Weather sends your chosen coordinates to open-meteo.com, which needs no account or key. The Web Reading widget fetches whatever endpoint you point it at, and if that needs a token it lives in your Keychain, never in Dockyard's settings file. Add neither and Dockyard makes no network requests at all.
It only ever runs what you type into it yourself, and there is a Test button so you can see the result before you rely on it. Dockyard never downloads or runs anything of its own.
Your docks live in a single file on your Mac and are never uploaded anywhere — the app itself sends us nothing at all.
This web page sends one anonymous count: that it was visited, the name of the site you came from, and whether the buy or download button was pressed. No cookies, nothing you type, nothing that identifies you. Payment is handled entirely by Stripe — we never see your card, and Stripe tells us only the email your receipt goes to.
No. £10 once, and it keeps working. Updates to version 1 are included, and there is no licence key to enter or lose — you buy it, you download it, it runs.
Yes. If you have a laptop and a desktop, use it on both — one purchase covers the Macs you personally work on.

Not yet. The build is Apple Silicon only for now.
