If you’re using a Mac, you’re probably accessing apps through the Dock. You might not think about it much, but the Dock could become a much more useful tool. That is, if you replace it.

ActiveDock is a feature-rich upgrade to the Mac Dock. It look and acts much like the stock Mac Dock, so there’s not really a learning curve. But it introduces a ton of new uses, like grouping documents and apps, rapidly switching between apps and windows, and managing windows right from the Previews panel.

Additionally, you can add flair to your dock, thanks to custom icon sets and themes.
