What our users say
"It's hard to imagine that I ever needed it and now I refuse to uninstall it. Currently, DockFlow remains my preferred programme. The installation is hassle-free, easy to navigate, and features a beautiful launch screen - more in line with Mac's design ethos, as if it were crafted by a company rather than an individual."

"It's super handy if you use your Mac for different things, like work, side projects, or just chilling, and want a clean setup for each. It's one of these things that you didn't know you need until you try it."

"After two weeks of intensive use with extensive automation setup, DockFlow has become essential infrastructure in my macOS environment. The combination of manual preset switching via hotkeys and automated preset activation via Shortcuts transformed how my Mac adapts to workflow changes."

Click "Add Preset," then either capture your current Dock with "Set from Current Dock" or build one yourself by adding apps. You can also add folders, files, web links, and spacers. Name it and you're done.
Yes. DockFlow supports single key shortcuts, key sequences, and multi-press hotkeys. You can also automate switching with Apple Shortcuts or link presets to macOS Focus modes so your Dock changes automatically when your Focus mode does.
DockFlow requires macOS 13.5 or later.
DockFlow's core preset features do not require special permissions. The optional Lock Dock feature requires Accessibility permission to keep the native Dock fixed to your chosen display.
Yes. You can export your presets and Dock layouts as a JSON backup and import them later without removing your existing presets. You can also share individual presets through DockShare.
DockFlow works with your native macOS Dock rather than replacing it. That means no special permissions out of the box, full compatibility with every macOS update, and zero impact on system performance. It's workflow-based — designed to switch your entire app setup, not just customize how the Dock looks.

The Story Behind
Born from Frustration, Built for Focus.
As a developer working across multiple technologies, I found myself constantly rearranging my
macOS Dock and launching different apps for design, coding or writing.
Every context switch meant precious minutes lost and mental focus disrupted.
That daily pain led me to build DockFlow – a productivity app that simplifies workspace setup.
With just one click, DockFlow lets you switch between Dock presets, close the apps you don't
need and launch the apps you do. Instant setup.
No more dragging icons or searching for the your tools – DockFlow helps you manage your projects
and workflows.
DockFlow switches your entire setup in one click, so you can focus on what matters.
