How do I set up my Dock layouts with DockFlow?

Click "Add Preset," then either capture your current Dock with "Set from Current Dock" or build one yourself by adding apps. You can also add folders, files, web links, and spacers. Name it and you're done.

Can I assign keyboard shortcuts to switch Dock presets?

Yes. DockFlow supports single key shortcuts, key sequences, and multi-press hotkeys. You can also automate switching with Apple Shortcuts or link presets to macOS Focus modes so your Dock changes automatically when your Focus mode does.

Which macOS versions does DockFlow support?

DockFlow requires macOS 13.5 or later.

Does DockFlow require any permissions?

DockFlow's core preset features do not require special permissions. The optional Lock Dock feature requires Accessibility permission to keep the native Dock fixed to your chosen display.

Can I back up or share my DockFlow presets?

Yes. You can export your presets and Dock layouts as a JSON backup and import them later without removing your existing presets. You can also share individual presets through DockShare.

What's the difference between DockFlow and other macOS dock apps?

DockFlow works with your native macOS Dock rather than replacing it. That means no special permissions out of the box, it's less likely to be disrupted by macOS updates, and it has zero impact on system performance. It's workflow-based — designed to switch your entire app setup, not just customize how the Dock looks.
