DockFolders is a small Mac utility for people whose Dock has grown into a long, crowded row. It lets you gather related apps and files into folders that sit in the Dock itself, so one click opens the group you need and everything else stays out of sight. It suits anyone who switches between clear sets of tools during the day, such as work apps and creative apps.

Key Features

• Create folders that group related apps together inside the Dock
• Open a folder with one click and launch any item inside it
• Keep rarely used apps close at hand without a crowded Dock
• Organise groups by project, client or type of work
• Leaves your apps and files where they are, grouping only the shortcuts

System Requirements

DockFolders runs on Mac and works with the standard macOS Dock. A recent macOS release is recommended, and the app itself is light enough for everyday use on modest hardware.

FAQs

Does DockFolders replace the macOS Dock?

No. It works alongside the normal Dock and simply adds folder based grouping to it, so your usual way of launching apps stays familiar.

Will grouping move my apps or files?

No. Your apps stay in Applications and your files stay where they live. The folders hold shortcuts, so removing a folder never deletes the real items.

Can I have more than one folder?

Yes. Making several folders is the whole point, for example one for work, one for writing and one for games, each ready in the Dock.
