ExtraDock in Presets#

When DockFlow is connected to ExtraDock, each preset can show and hide your ExtraDock docks. Switch to a preset and your extra docks follow along.

Connect first#

DockFlow can control ExtraDock in two ways. Only one is active at a time, and with either one your presets do the same thing: show the docks you ticked and hide the rest.

• Talk (recommended) — Settings → Talk Integrations. See Talk Integrations.
• Original connection — Settings → Integrations → ExtraDock. Described below.

Without either connection, DockFlow only changes the macOS Dock, and presets don't show an ExtraDock section.

Choose docks for a preset#

1. Open a preset in the editor
2. Go to the ExtraDock section
3. Tick the docks this preset should show. Use Select All or Deselect All to speed this up.

Docks you leave unticked are hidden when you switch to this preset. Click Refresh dock list if a dock is missing.

A dock marked Disabled in ExtraDock is turned off in ExtraDock. Enable it there before a preset can show or hide it.

If the section says ExtraDock isn't connected or No docks to show, open ExtraDock with at least one dock and check the connection in Settings → Talk Integrations.

ExtraDock-only mode#

Turn on ExtraDock-only mode in a preset's ExtraDock section when the preset should only switch your ExtraDock docks. Applying the preset will:

• Skip all macOS Dock changes
• Only show or hide the selected ExtraDocks

The Apps and Dock Items sections are hidden for that preset.

The original connection#

Use the original connection if you have to stay on an older ExtraDock, or as a fallback while you sort out a Talk problem.

1. Open Settings → Integrations → ExtraDock
2. Click Connect to ExtraDock, then turn on Enable Integration. This allows DockFlow to control ExtraDock docks when switching presets.
3. macOS may ask whether DockFlow may access data from other apps. Allow it.

The section shows the connection status and how many docks are available, with:

• Refresh — Sync ExtraDock's dock list
• Show All Docks and Hide All Docks

If ExtraDock is installed but not responding, make sure it is running with at least one dock created, then click Retry.

Switch between Talk and the original connection#

Connecting through Talk moves your presets over to Talk automatically. The Integrations page then shows Controlled through Talk. To go back, click Use This Bridge Instead.
