Dockspace0.9

Dockspace places interactive widgets directly in your Mac’s Dock, turning a space normally used for app icons into a compact control and information panel. It keeps these widgets in the Dock instead of moving them into a separate workspace, so frequently used details remain available alongside your applications. A now-playing widget controls pause, playback, and track skipping for Spotify, Apple Music, and audio playing in a browser.

You can group several applications into one Dock slot, then open a popover to launch any app in that collection. Timers and stopwatches are available from the Dock, while calendar widgets show upcoming events synced from Google Calendar or Reminders. A weather widget displays current conditions and opens a detailed forecast for the coming days, with app previews and animations adding further customization.

This productivity software suits Mac users who want quick controls, schedules, forecasts, and app access without opening separate windows; its widgets are designed to run quietly in the background with low impact on CPU and battery. Built natively in Swift, Dockspace emphasizes a lightweight Dock-based experience and continues to receive suggestions through Discord.

Dockspace 0.9 is freeware for macOS 14 Sonoma or later, supporting both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, and it is installed via Homebrew. The developer states that subscriptions are not part of the product and offers a full refund within five days of a purchase; new widgets are also planned.
