A macOS utility for organizing your Dock apps into named, emoji-labeled groups with a floating quick-access panel.

Works offlineNo tracking
What to know
How it works
Organizes Mac Dock apps into named, emoji-labeled groups (by bundle ID) accessed through a floating panel that anchors next to the Dock, wherever it's positioned on screen.
What's different
Group data saves atomically with owner-only permissions and tolerates missing fields, so app updates don't wipe your groups; the panel offers frosted-glass or solid styling with System/Light/Dark themes.
Best for
