What You Can Do with ExtraDock

No. ExtraDock is a one-time purchase. Standard Lifetime licenses include one year of new features and updates, while Forever Edition includes all future updates for life.

Standard Lifetime licenses keep working forever on every version released during the included update window. Access to later updates may be extended separately. Forever Edition includes all future updates for life.

Yes. A separate update extension will be available later through the Appit Dashboard. It will extend update access without changing your permanent ownership of ExtraDock.

Yes. Purchases completed before 1 September 2026 at 00:00 (midnight) Europe/Sofia time (EEST, UTC+3) retain lifetime updates under their original terms. Standard Lifetime purchases completed at or after that cutoff include updates released during the 12 months following purchase, while Forever Edition includes all future updates for life. A purchase is completed when Stripe confirms successful payment. Existing lifetime-update customers do not need to do anything.

Not natively. macOS only shows one Dock, on one screen at a time. ExtraDock fixes that. It can show the Dock on all screens, or give each monitor its own custom dock.

ExtraDock gives you multiple lightweight docks that you can pin anywhere across your screens. Use it as an add-on to your native Dock, or go all-in and replace it entirely. It's up to you.

Yes. ExtraDock works independently of the native Dock, so you can use both side by side or hide the native Dock and let ExtraDock take over. It's designed to fit however you work.

ExtraDock 5 supports macOS 26 Tahoe and later. On macOS 12 through 15, use ExtraDock 4, the previous generation that remains fully supported.

Yes. ExtraDock has a setting that ensures resized and maximized windows respect your docks and won't cover them.

Yes. You can choose from a variety of both visual and behavioral customizations: colors, effects, opacity, borders, custom app icons, as well as auto hide/show, hide on full screen, and more.

Partially. macOS does not provide a way to read badges for Apple apps such as Mail and Messages, so those cannot be shown. Third-party apps like Slack and WhatsApp work as expected.

Yes, with limitations. ExtraDock docks can be attached to a specific screen, so they appear when that screen connects and hide when it disconnects. This relies on macOS identifying each display consistently. DisplayLink monitors and displays connected through docking stations or daisy chains can behave inconsistently, especially after sleep or replugging, which can affect screen recognition.

Live Dock mirrors your native macOS Dock on any screen, either your full Dock or just running apps. Dock Awareness shows only the apps running in your current Space and updates as you switch. Both update dynamically.
