Features
Everything your Dock does, in less space
ShortcutDock puts every installed app one click away from the macOS menu bar. Here is the full list, grouped by what it does for you.
Launching
Open any app in one click
The everyday path: summon the panel, find the app, launch it.
Menu Bar Dropdown
Lives in your menu bar. Click the icon to reveal a clean app grid that drops down instantly.
One-Click Launch
See every app at a glance and click once to launch. No digging through folders.
App Search
Find any installed app by typing its name. Results appear as you type.
Keyboard Shortcuts
A global hotkey summons ShortcutDock from anywhere, and you choose the combination.
Organising
Arrange your apps the way you work
Groups, favourites and automatic discovery keep the panel tidy without manual setup.
Hide the Dock
Do not need the macOS Dock? Hide it and use ShortcutDock as your only launcher.
Smart Groups
Organise apps into groups like Browsers, Dev Tools or Design, then launch a whole group at once.
Favourites Bar
Pin your most-used apps to the favourites bar at the bottom for instant access.
Auto-Discovery
Finds every application installed on your Mac on first run. No manual setup.
On your Mac
Native, quiet and offline
How ShortcutDock behaves once it is installed and running in the background.

Launch at Login
