A Cleaner Productivity Workflow for macOS
DockMaster combines three essential desktop tools — live window previews, clipboard history, and a file shelf — into a single, lightweight utility that lives in the Dock. No floating windows, no menu bar clutter, no learning curve.
What DockMaster Does
- Live window previews — hover over any Dock icon to see real-time thumbnails of every open window. Click to switch instantly.
- Clipboard history — access recently copied text, images, and links directly from the Dock. No separate app needed.
- File Shelf — drag files onto the Shelf to temporarily hold them, then drop them into any app. A faster alternative to staging files on the desktop.
- Global app switcher — switch between apps with a keyboard shortcut (Option + Tab) that shows live previews, not just icons.
Built for macOS, Not Ported
DockMaster is written entirely in Swift, using native macOS APIs. It's optimized for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, with idle CPU usage under 0.1%. No Electron, no web views, no unnecessary overhead.
Who It's For
DockMaster works well for developers juggling terminal windows and browser tabs, designers switching between Figma and reference images, researchers managing dozens of PDFs, and anyone who wants a tidier desktop without adding complexity.
Free to Start
The free version includes core features with usage limits. Pro (£14.99, one-time) unlocks everything — unlimited clipboard history, full Shelf capacity, and all future updates. Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
