ActiveDock 2
A customizable dock for your Mac
You have a lot of applications running and a bunch of windows open. Finding and switching takes a lot of time, which you could spend at work, family, or leisure. ActiveDock can help you become more productive with macOS and save you time.
An app requests so many permissions on MacOs 10.15, without explaining the reason for that. For the security and privacy conscious users this could be a big concern to even try out an app. I would recommend to improve the set up process by explaining how to give all permissions and why.
@kseniia_vynnyk hmm, thanks ... I thought the explanations in the access request window were enough .. I'll try to improve it ... really, these permissions are needed for the application to work correctly ... maybe I need to make the request gradually when activating each functionality
@gerasim_sergey I understand that they all needed, but I needed to provide folder access (3 of them), screen recording access, accessibility access etc. For a regular user - that's a lot to ask.
Hi PH
In December 2017, I released the first version of ActiveDock, this application has become my most popular application of all I have done.
Over time, many features have been added and problems have been fixed. But due to the wrong architecture, not all possibilities could be realized.
After some time, I decided to completely rewrite ActiveDock from scratch.I have done Soft-Launch at this point and would now like to present ActiveDock 2 at PH
In the plans
- adding widgets and plugins
- theme editor (now the creation of themes is done by adding a theme file)
- completely rewrite Start Menu
- and much more
@gerasim_sergey honestly I think it would be better just to improve the over all performance issues and buginess of the app before concentrating on new features. Here are a few very noticeable bugs:
- Very bad lag when hovering over icons quickly. The popups for each app take too long to show up, and sometimes don't show up at all. Here is a animated gif indicating what I'm am talking about: https://d.pr/i/CvgoEc (wait till the very end when I hover over the firefox icon)
- Spinning Pin Wheels start after a while.
- Multi Monitors - dock doesnt show up when monitors are stacked on top of eachother (vertically) - it blinks in very quickly and then disappears.
These bugs make the app really, really hard to use. Fix all of this and you'll have yourself a amazing app, worth the price.
@gerasim_sergey Here is another animated gif of that hover issue happening. (I jiggle my mouse when the issue is happening) It happens way to often to make this app usable.

@jive understood, thanks ... in fact it is not from performance .... apparently some event does not work ... you wrote to me by mail (Send Feedback in the menu which is in the menu bar)? It would be great if when I fix this problem I could provide you with a build and you would test
Their Customer Service Team is non-existent. Only a bot that says they will get back to you eventually and may take longer. It's been weeks with no reply.
