Dockey is a free, lightweight utility for macOS that lets you change advanced Dock settings using a simple visual interface. Normally, these settings are hidden and need Terminal commands to change. Dockey turns them into buttons and toggles, so you can adjust your Dock without typing a single command.

Key Features

• Visual Dock Settings: Dockey turns hidden Dock preferences into a clean, native interface, so you never need to open Terminal.
• Live Preview: See how a change looks and feels before you save it, so you know what you are getting.
• Dock Animations: Change how your Dock animates when you open or hide apps.
• Hidden Behavior Settings: Adjust how your Dock behaves when hiding or showing, features that are normally buried in Terminal commands.
• Layout Preferences: Modify how your Dock is laid out to fit the way you work.
• Restore Defaults Anytime: If you do not like a change, you can reset your Dock back to its default settings with one click.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is Dockey free?

Yes. Dockey is free to download and use.

What macOS version does Dockey need?

Dockey works on macOS 10.13 and newer, on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.

Do I need to use Terminal with Dockey?

No. Dockey replaces Terminal commands with a visual interface, so you do not need to type or memorize any commands.

Why not just use Terminal commands directly?

Terminal commands for the Dock are not always well documented, and typos can cause errors. Dockey also lets you preview a change before applying it, which Terminal commands do not offer.

Dockey is built for Mac users who want more control over their Dock, developers who do not want to memorize defaults write commands, and anyone who prefers a visual tool over typing in Terminal.

Can I undo changes made with Dockey?

Yes. Dockey lets you restore your Dock to its default settings at any time.
