DockFolders 1.0.2 Overview

ockFolders is a macOS utility that brings iOS-style app folders to the Mac Dock, letting users group applications, files, and folders into clean, expandable containers instead of letting the Dock sprawl across the screen. Rather than replacing the Dock outright, it layers a familiar iPhone-style folder interaction on top of it — click a folder to expand it into a grid, click away to collapse it — aiming to keep frequently used items organized without cluttering the workspace. What makes DockFolders distinct from Apple's built-in Dock stacks is its focus on visual polish and native integration. Folders are built with CoreAnimation for smooth expand-and-collapse motion, and the app supports native context menus and drag-and-drop behavior so it feels like a built-in system feature rather than a bolted-on third-party tool. It runs quietly from the menu bar, staying out of the way until a folder is actually being used. DockFolders 1.0.2 requires macOS 14 or later and runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. It's aimed at users who want the organizational clarity of iOS-style folders — grouping apps by work, gaming, design, or any other category — combined with deep customization over appearance, without giving up the native feel of the Mac Dock.

Key Features

iOS-Style App Folders Users can group apps and files into folders that expand into a beautiful grid with a click, and collapse again just as easily, mirroring the familiar iPhone folder interaction. Unlimited Folders There's no cap on how many folders can be created, letting users organize by work, gaming, design, or any category that fits their workflow. Simple Drag-and-Drop Setup Items can be added, removed, or rearranged just by dragging files or applications from Finder straight into a DockFolders folder. Quiet Menubar Integration The app runs lightly in the background via a minimalist menu bar icon, providing instant access without adding visual clutter. Customizable Appearance Users can tweak background blur, icon colors, and overall folder appearance, along with custom gestures, to match their desktop aesthetic. Buttery Smooth Animation Built using CoreAnimation, folder expanding and collapsing motions are designed to stay smooth and responsive at all times. Native macOS Feel DockFolders is designed to look and behave like a built-in Apple feature, complete with native context menus and full Finder support.

How to Use DockFolders 1.0.2

Launch it; it will run quietly from the menu bar. Create a new folder to begin grouping items, choosing a category such as work, gaming, or design. Drag apps or files directly from Finder into your new folder to add them. Click the folder in the Dock to expand it into a grid view, and click away to collapse it again. Rearrange items within a folder simply by dragging them into a new position. Open DockFolders' settings to customize background blur, icon colors, and overall folder appearance. Set up custom gestures if you want additional quick-access ways to open or manage folders. Continue creating as many folders as needed to keep your Dock organized without limit.
