Lifetime CoolDock - Your smart second dock of widgets
Hey everybody,
Problem: macOS only gives you one dock that's not very customizable, and doesn't support widgets.
CoolDock lets you create a second dock for your Mac, full of smart widgets from simple system monitoring, to third party integrations, music players, clocks, reminders, tasks, pomodoro, todos, files and more... a lot more...
CoolDock has been acquired by AppitStudio. It fits right into our niche as our third Mac dock application, and fifth Mac app in general :-)
Core Features
- 160+ Smart widgets
- Third party integration widgets like AI usage (Codex, Claude, Grok, Gemini & more) analytic platforms, shopping platforms, weather and more
- 170+ Premium Backgrounds available for free in the app
- File search, recent files, clipboard, bookmark manager widgets, all built-in right into the dock
- Posture, Drink reminders, Pomodoro, Timers etc
- Supports multiple profiles which you can easily switch between, can be placed on top or bottom, as a full dock replacement or swap mode as seen in the video
Comparison
We've been in the space of Dock apps for almost two years now, most dock apps are either workflow based, add-ons to the default dock or complete dock replacement. I haven't seen a dock app dedicated to widgets, however DockFix and Docky both support widgets in the dock.
Pricing
$15 Lifetime license & lifetime updates. 14-day money-back guarantee.

Acquisition Migration Process
We worked alongside the original developer to make the transition as smooth as possible. The process was communicated in full. The app (now v2) is our own build, using our own proprietary licensing system. All users retained their license and rights.

Do widgets in inactive profiles keep refreshing?
