DockPops 5.1

DockPops — macOS Dock organizer and app folder manager.

DockPops

DockPops is a powerful productivity tool designed to streamline your macOS experience by bringing iPhone-style organization to your Dock. It allows you to declutter your workspace by grouping apps, files, and folders into “Pops”—interactive, customizable popover menus.

Key Features

  • iPhone-Style Folders: Organize your most-used items into clean folders that live directly in your Dock.
  • Launch with Speed: Click a Pop to instantly access a grid of apps or use the “Open All” feature to launch an entire project workflow with a single click.
  • File & Folder Support: Beyond just apps, you can add documents and directories, complete with QuickLook previews for easy identification.
  • SmartyPops (Premium): Leverage on-device AI to receive smart suggestions for items you might need based on your usage patterns.
  • MultiPops & Shortcuts: Create multiple independent Dock icons for different categories (e.g., “Work,” “Gaming,” or “Design”) and trigger them via Siri or Spotlight.
  • Private by Design: DockPops runs entirely locally. There is zero data collection, no tracking, and no network access required.

Version 5.1:

  • New: Lock popover size while swiping - the popover stays at your largest Pop's size, so nothing jumps around as you move between Pops. Find it in Settings → Popover.
  • Themes now save your label font size and Dock Icon styling - and applying a theme no longer resets your custom Dock Icon colors.
  • The Glass Effect slider now appears for every Pop, including ones still on the default background.
  • Using DockPops Companion? You'll be asked once to download the latest version so updates keep flowing smoothly.

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the app?

Mount the image, drag the app into the "Applications" folder and launch it. If the system blocks the launch, allow it in "System Settings → Privacy & Security".

The app is damaged or won't launch

Reinstalling from a fresh image usually helps. Make sure your macOS version matches the one listed in the compatibility specs.

How do I update?

Download the new version from the site and install it over the current one — your settings will be preserved.

The download link doesn't work

Try a mirror or a download manager. For large files the browser often drops the connection.

How do I completely remove the app?

Use an uninstaller utility — it cleans up the service files that remain after moving the app to the trash.
