Dock Groups
Your Dock, your rules. Simple and clean.
What this is
A macOS utility for organizing your Dock apps into named, emoji-labeled groups with a floating quick-access panel.
Our one-line summary — not the founder’s tagline.
- 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
- Mac users with cluttered Docks who want apps organized into custom groups with quick access.

Dev. Launched 18d ago on OpenHunts, picking up 9 votes. Today, it's been quiet for 15 days and the price has started to bleed.
Already bleeding a little every day, and it accelerates the longer it stays quiet.
We check this site every day, ourselves. A founder can post “still working on it” — a claim like that doesn't price. What we price is what we can verify from the outside: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”
The market viewHow this launch is priced and ranked in our league — the investor side of the page.
ranked by the reality anchor, not the market price
It launched on OpenHunts with 9 votes. It also showed up on 2 other boards — but didn't place well enough on any of them, so none of them add to the price. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
En eski 5 hareket bu listede yok — toplam 17 olay var. A launch that goes quiet eases down a little at a time — never a cliff you could have run from the night before.
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day — the crowd's attention.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.
About
App Groups - Organize apps into named groups, each with a custom emoji icon, stored by bundle ID. - Pin important groups to the top of the sidebar. - Create and delete groups directly from the main panel — no detour into Settings. - Default starter groups (Work, Creative, Utilities) appear on first launch. - Group data is saved atomically with owner-only file permissions, and the app tolerates missing fields so updates never wipe your groups. The Floating Panel - A panel anchored next to your Dock that positions itself correctly whether your Dock sits at the bottom, left, or right of the screen. - Opens from the Dock icon or the menu bar; closes automatically when it loses focus. - A collapsible sidebar toggles between full labels (with shortcut badges) and a compact icon-only rail. - Frosted-glass or solid panel style, plus System / Light / Dark themes. Open All / Close All — the signature feature - Open All launches every app in a group with a small stagger (so macOS doesn't choke on simultaneous launches). - Close All does the reverse, and this is something no competing dock app offers: - Plain click → hides every app in the group - ⌥-click → quits them gracefully - ⌘-click → force-quits them - Live indicators show which apps in a group are currently running, and clicking a running app restores its windows — including minimized ones. Most Used (dynamic group) - A self-maintaining group showing your most-launched apps. - Tracks launches passively system-wide with no permissions required, and excludes system processes. In-Panel App Management - Add and remove apps right in the panel grid. - Drag to reorder apps within a group. - Right-click any app for Quit, Force Quit, or Show in Finder. - Drop a file onto an app icon to open it with that app. Keyboard Shortcuts - ⌘1–9 switches groups inside the panel. - ⌥⇧1–9 are true system-wide hotkeys that work even in full-screen apps — with no Accessibility or Input Monitoring permissions needed. - Shortcuts are fully remappable, with conflict detection and inline badges. Menu Bar Mode - An optional menu bar icon for quick access without using the Dock. Privacy & Auto-Update - All your data (groups, usage stats) stays local — no cloud, no accounts. - The only optional network signal is anonymous update statistics (app version, build, macOS version — no IP, no identifiers), which you can turn off in Settings → Updates. - Updates are cryptographically signed and verified on your Mac; the app ships with an Apple privacy manifest declaring no tracking.
Where it launched
3 platformsThe board it did best on sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also placed high on that board too — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
