Each group.
Its own app.

Launch any group as a standalone instance. It gets its own lightweight window with no sidebar clutter — and its own Dock icon you can pin permanently.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I group apps on my Mac Dock?

macOS has no built-in way to group apps in the Dock. DockGroups adds it: create a named group, drop your apps in, and launch or quit the whole group with one click — straight from your Dock or the menu bar.

Does DockGroups work on macOS Tahoe, Sequoia, and Sonoma?

Yes. DockGroups supports macOS 14 Sonoma, macOS 15 Sequoia, and macOS 26 Tahoe, and updates itself with signed releases.

Is DockGroups free?

Yes. The free version includes up to 2 groups, the dynamic Most Used group, Launch & Close All, keyboard shortcuts, and menu bar access — forever. Pro unlocks unlimited groups and standalone mode for a one-time $9.99.

Does DockGroups run on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs?

Yes. DockGroups ships native builds for both Apple Silicon (arm64) and Intel (x86_64) Macs.

Is DockGroups a subscription?

No. DockGroups Pro is a one-time $9.99 purchase that includes future updates. There is no subscription.

How do I open multiple apps at once on a Mac?

Put the apps in a DockGroups group and hit Open All — every app in the group launches with one click. Close All quits them all just as cleanly when you're done.
