FAQs

How is a Pop different from a Dock folder?

A Dock folder simply shows what sits in one folder on disk. A Pop is a set you choose yourself, in your own order, with its own name, theme and icon.

What does Premium add?

Premium is a single purchase that raises the limits and unlocks more themes, views and options.
