What is ExtraDock?

macOS gives you one Dock. If you run multiple monitors, that single Dock either lives on one screen or jumps around following your cursor — neither is practical. ExtraDock fixes this by letting you create as many docks as you need and pin each one to a specific screen. Each dock is lightweight, fully customizable, and smart enough to hide when you disconnect a display. It works right alongside your native Dock, or it can fully replace it — with features like the Live Dock widget that mirrors your native Dock, you might want to replace it completely. Every dock is deeply customizable — size, opacity, blur, border, special effects, even individual app icons — so each one looks and feels exactly how you want it. It's also built for everyday utility — drag and drop items straight into folders on your dock. Over 1,000 Mac users already use ExtraDock to organize their multi-monitor workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ExtraDock.

Why I Built ExtraDock

I'm someone who runs 2 or 3 monitors daily: one for coding, one for chat apps, and one for design tools. But macOS only gives you a single Dock, which either stays on your main screen or auto-swaps wherever your mouse is. That felt clumsy.

I just wanted an easy way to keep a "chat dock" on my side monitor, a "development dock" on my center monitor, and maybe another "utilities dock" somewhere else, without messing with some complex, heavy app.

I tried other "dock replacements," but they were all too bulky, too fancy, or cluttered with effects. I wanted something minimal and practical, so I built ExtraDock.

To my surprise, it worked better than anything out there. Multiple mini-docks, pinned exactly where I want them. No more hunting for Slack or Terminal in one crowded Dock, and fast-switching between apps became effortless.
