OtterDock
Group apps, files and links in your Mac Dock
Otterdock is a macOS Dock organizer that enhances your existing Dock instead of replacing it.
Create a group for each project or workflow and mix apps, working files, folders and web links in it, then open what you need from the Dock or from desktop and Notification Center widgets.
The Direct edition (downloaded from the official website) adds custom popups, hover-to-expand, keyboard search inside the popup, global shortcuts and, with Pro, a chosen app for each file. You can open a single item or launch everything in a group at once.
Group data stays on your Mac. The free tier includes 2 groups with up to 8 items each, and Pro is a one-time US$6.99 purchase with no subscription. Requires macOS 14 or later.
