App Folders#

An App Folder is a Dock tile that opens a grid of apps. Use it to keep a group of apps, for example your design tools, behind one Dock icon.

Create an App Folder#

1. Open a preset in the editor and go to Apps
2. Click App Folder at the bottom
3. Enter a Name. It is shown under the folder in the Dock.
4. Click Add Apps and pick the apps the folder should hold
5. Choose a Theme
6. Click Create Folder

The App Folder appears in the preset like an app. Apply the preset to put it in the Dock.

App Folders are free for everyone.

Use an App Folder#

Click the App Folder tile in the Dock. The grid opens next to the tile, and the app you were using stays in front.

• Click an app to open it. The grid closes.
• Press Escape, click elsewhere, switch Spaces, or click the tile again to close the grid.

Edit or delete#

Click the edit button on the App Folder's row to open Edit App Folder. Change the apps, name, or theme and click Save. A new name shows in the Dock the next time you apply the preset.

Delete Folder removes the folder's Dock tile from disk. Presets that still list it will show a missing app.

Themes#

The theme gallery is grouped into categories:

• Glass — System (the default), Liquid Glass, Crystal, Graphite Glass, Midnight Glass, Sunset Glass, Ocean Glass, Frost
• Terminal — Dracula, Catppuccin Mocha, Catppuccin Latte, Tokyo Night, Nord, Gruvbox Dark, Solarized Dark, Solarized Light, One Dark, Rosé Pine, Kanagawa, Everforest Dark, Night Owl, GitHub Dark, Ayu Mirage, Synthwave '84, Monokai
• Neon — Cyberpunk, Synthwave Sunset, Matrix, Tron Grid, Vaporwave
• Minimal — Paper, Ink, Mono, Sepia
• 3D — Holo Deck, Obsidian Slab, Glass Stack, Prism

The 3D tilt animation turns off when Reduce Motion is on in macOS.

Closing apps from App Folders#

If you use Close apps that aren't in the preset, you can also choose what happens to apps that the next preset only has inside an App Folder. See Presets & Switching.
