Dook

Dook takes the place of the macOS Dock: same spot, same feel, written from scratch in Swift with AppKit and SwiftUI, with Liquid Glass on macOS 26 Tahoe.

• Badges with something to say: a meeting countdown in its calendar's colour, an update ready, a frozen app with Force Quit one click away.
• Press and hold an app for what you need without opening it: the Finder's recent files, Safari's tabs, your latest emails, today's events.
• Dookets: weather, now playing, world clocks, live in the Dock, and they stack up when space runs out.
• Folders that do almost everything the Finder does: grid, list, search, previews, drag and drop, and new files marked as they arrive.
• Five minimize effects (Scale, Fade, Swirl, Carpet, Dook), with minimized windows stacked on their own app instead of cluttering the end of the Dock.
• Smart hiding: the Dock steps aside only when a window needs the space.
