Today, you need more power and more functionality. The Dock was great when it was released in 2001.

Some may have to be combined, few are free, homebrewed solutions (with folders and scripts) excluded: If anyone knows Apple Silicon/Big Sur compatible apps, the info would be most welcome.Īpplications with vaguely similar features, without any prediction as to whether they will run on macOS 10.15.

Right click has options & key commands can be added to any item to launch, hide, get info, reveal original etc.Īs I now discover I don't have a Mac in the house that will be able to run Catalina, the point has become moot.Īs I now have a new M1 iMac on order I shall be forced to address this very soon :\ įrom the DragThing site, showing various display options -Įach of these tiny labels can be anchored anywhere on screen, follow you to any Space, be hidden in apps you don't want it to interfere with & when clicked, each one pops open to reveal a completely customisable set of tabs which can contain almost anything - folders, apps, docs, pictures etc I'm hunting for anything vaguely similar - essentially a replacement for the Dock or the even more cumbersome Lauchpad, which I cannot bear. The author has announced it will receive no further updates & it is no longer available to purchase.

I've been using DragThing since v1.0 in the mid 1990's so it's fair to say I'm rather used to it & will be sad to see it finally die after macOS 10.15.

This is, essentially, a Dock replacer on steroids - dating back to before the Dock even existed.
