Smart Grouping & Sorting

Automatically group apps by category and sort them intelligently. Keep your Dock organized effortlessly.

Workflow

From Dock Cleanup to Clearer App Access

SmartDock organizes shortcut cleanup and common macOS Dock appearance settings into one focused workflow.

Step 1

Identify genuinely frequent apps

Keep the apps you open every day and remove low-frequency shortcuts from the Dock.

Step 2

Adjust position and visibility

Set Dock position, size, magnification, and auto-hide for the available screen space and your habits.

Step 3

Review shortcuts as work changes

Revisit the Dock when your app set changes so it stays a quick launcher instead of becoming an app warehouse.

Before You Start

When SmartDock Is Useful

Start with built-in settings

If you only need size, position, magnification, or auto-hide, try the built-in macOS Dock settings first.

Focused on the Dock

SmartDock does not replace Finder, a window manager, a system cleaner, or a full desktop theme tool.
