Dock Mate0.8.7

Hover over any application icon in the Dock to see its running windows instantly and manage them without switching views. Dock Mate can enlarge a selected miniature preview to full size, while configurable preview dimensions and layouts let you arrange the Dock display to suit your workflow. Clicking a window focuses it, and quick actions let you focus, minimize, maximize, close, or open windows, using either clicks or scrolling.

The utility can also invoke App Exposé, toggle application hiding, and assign actions to Dock tiles or preview panels. Calendar and Fantastical views show the day’s events at a glance, let you join meetings with one click, and work with dozens of services including Zoom and Google Meets. Music, iTunes, Podcasts, and Spotify views display currently playing information with Play/Pause and Skip controls.

Dock Mate runs quietly from the menu bar, can be hidden completely, and is designed for minimal to no battery impact with an easy setup. It is useful for people handling many windows, checking appointments, joining calls, or controlling audio while keeping their work visible.

Dock Mate is freeware with a free week-long trial, and the current version is 0.8.7. It supports macOS 10.14 and later, including Big Sur, works on Intel and Apple Silicon, and runs natively on Apple Silicon.
