App Actions and Notes#

An app action tells DockFlow what to do with an app when you apply the preset. For example, it can open your IDE on a project, or open a browser with a chosen profile.

Open App Settings#

1. Open a preset in the editor and go to Apps
2. Click the settings button on the app's row
3. App Settings opens with Choose Action, Configuration, and Note
4. Click Save when you are done

Actions are stored per preset, so the same app can do different things in different presets.

Actions#

The list under Choose Action depends on the app.

Open App

Opens the application normally. Available for every app.

Open with Project

Opens the IDE with a specific project. Under Project, click Browse and choose a project folder, Xcode project, workspace, or VS Code workspace. DockFlow closes any running copy of the IDE first, then opens the project.

Available for Cursor, Visual Studio Code, Xcode, PhpStorm, IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, PyCharm, RubyMine, CLion, DataGrip, GoLand, Rider, Android Studio, AppCode, Eclipse, and Sublime Text.

Open with Profile (Beta)

Opens the browser with a specific profile. Pick the profile under Configuration.

Available for Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave Browser, Vivaldi, Arc, and Firefox.

How browser profiles are launched is set in Settings → Presets & Switching → Browser Profiles. See Presets & Switching.

Notes#

Under Note, add a quick reminder for this app. The note shows next to the app's name in the editor.

Turn on Global note for this app to show the same note in every preset that contains the app.
