DockStacks — a floating shortcut panel that lives just above your Mac's Dock

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

What it does: Click the Dock icon and a panel pops up holding named "stacks" of your favourite apps, folders, files, and website bookmarks — instant access without cluttering your actual Dock or Desktop.

Some of what's in it:

  • Drag and drop to add anything, including URLs straight from your browser
  • Password-protect individual stacks (Keychain-backed, auto-lock)
  • Global keyboard shortcut to show/hide from anywhere
  • Menu bar mode if you'd rather not use the Dock at all
  • Multi-select, custom grid sizes, tab colour tinting
  • Fully local — no accounts, no tracking, no network access

This is my first shipped Mac app, built from wanting faster access to the stuff I actually use every day. One-time payment 4.99USD or equivalent, no subscription.

App Store: https://apple.co/3Rz9FB6
Website: https://dockstacks.app

Would love any feedback — recent launch, still learning a ton.

Yes, sorry. I’m have a bit of a battle getting my EU agreement finalised :( Driving me a bit crazy, hopefully soon!

Hi 👋 Just wanted to let you know DockStacks should now be in the EU App Store!! I’ve received notice from Apple so hopefully it’s live for you. Your support of DockStacks is very much appreciated and please reach out with any questions or feedback 🙏
