Sidebar

The modern, most customizable Dock replacement for your Mac

Sidebar is a contemporary alternative to the Dock specifically designed for Mac, featuring an easy-to-navigate user interface and beneficial functionalities that significantly enhance the macOS experience and improve multitasking abilities. It not only substitutes the default Dock but also introduces several new features, including multi-display support, which allows users to opt for displaying sidebars on one, some, or all screens, overcoming the restriction that the macOS Dock can only appear on a single display. Furthermore, Sidebar prevents window overlays from affecting your workspace, offers enhanced customization options for styling, and provides window previews, including the ability to preview your live video stream if you are using macOS Ventura. Additionally, Sidebar incorporates the WindowSnap feature, which assists users in managing window placements, enabling easy saving, restoring, or locking of window positions, whether done manually or triggered by system events like connecting an external monitor. Sidebar guarantees ongoing updates, with all enhancements included at no extra charge for upgrades, and it is available through a subscription model or a one-time purchase. Moreover, Sidebar is committed to protecting user privacy and does not collect or transmit any user information. It also presents an extensive array of settings to customize behavior and design according to your preferences, along with a built-in calendar and a list of applications for swift access to commonly used features and apps.

User-friendly and straightforward: For individuals who find the typical MacOS Dock experience inadequate, particularly those familiar with Windows or Linux, Sidebar offers a more user-friendly alternative. It enhances multitasking capabilities and introduces a wealth of practical features to elevate your MacOS experience.

Multi-display compatibility: Whether you prefer to display the sidebar solely on the main screen, on selected screens, or across all screens, you are no longer constrained by the limitation that the macOS Dock can only be shown on one display.

Maximize screen space: Unlike the macOS Dock, when Sidebar is activated, you can avoid app windows overlapping with Sidebar, thus optimizing the use of screen space.

Tailorable appearance: Not happy with the default design? Sidebar gives you the ability to personalize nearly every aesthetic aspect, including colors, logos, spacing, dimensions, and more to suit your preferences.

Window preview feature: Simply hover over an app to see all of its windows. If you’re using macOS Ventura, you can also enjoy a live video stream preview.

WindowSnap feature: The position of windows can be saved, restored, or locked, either manually or automatically triggered by system events. This functionality helps address window management challenges when transitioning between different work environments and display configurations.

Regular updates: Sidebar will receive ongoing updates at no additional cost for upgrades. Whether you opt for a subscription or a one-time payment, you will receive all future essential updates.

Emphasis on privacy: Sidebar prioritizes your privacy and does not collect, transmit, or share usage data. The only information that may be sent is related to licensing, should you choose to make a purchase.

Additional features:
Setup options: Sidebar provides numerous configuration settings to customize its functionality and appearance to your liking, complete with built-in guidance for easy comprehension.

Calendar access: Just hover over the date or time on the Sidebar to access a convenient calendar without needing to open the notification center.

Application list: For those who are used to having a Start Menu/App Launcher, simply click on the Sidebar logo to reveal a list of all accessible applications, while also providing quick access to personal preferences, system settings, and power options.
