What is CoolDock?
CoolDock adds a customisable second Dock beside the standard macOS Dock. It holds live widgets for music, reminders and to-dos, calendar events, weather, system stats, search, clipboard and screenshots, plus favourite apps, folders and quick actions. It works locally on your Mac and needs macOS Sonoma 14 or later. It is a one-time purchase (a one-year or lifetime licence), with a 14-day money-back guarantee.
Pros
- Puts widgets, apps and quick actions in one place
- Local first, no account needed
- One-time payment, no subscription
Cons
- Mac only (macOS Sonoma 14 or later)
- No free version, only a money-back guarantee
Who should use CoolDock
