This is fantastic. That bottom bit of my mac screen is basically useless because of the dock, this makes much better use of the space. Thanks!

@arlogilbert You could just auto-hide it. The bottom of my screen isn't useless.

@arlogilbert @_jacurtis All screen bottoms are perfect in the eyes of your videocard.

@jacqvon Hi Jacqueline, I built uBar because the Apple Dock, while simple and easy to use, really is limited in terms of functionality. It isn't that different than it was in 2001. uBar has a lot of features found on other platforms (e.g. the Windows Taskbar), but far more on top of that. uBar 2 was featured on Product Hunt 3 years ago, and there's been a lot of added features and refinement since then. It has App Flashes (equivalent of bounce-notifications), App Progress (shows you how far along you are in iTunes/VLC/MPlayerX, Spotify) can be placed on any side of the screen, pinned in any and all directions, has fluid animation, Active Favorites, multiple monitor support (you can have a bar on every screen), and a lot more. The release notes on the website will give you an idea of just how much work has gone into making uBar 4 the absolute best dock replacement on the Mac. The best thing is that many of the changes come from user suggestions, who are always credited in the release notes!

@jacqvon @edwardbrawer There really isn’t an equivalent to uBar in any other app, is there? I don’t know of any “products that are similar.” Also, is there a uBar 3 upgrade discount? ;)

@jacqvon @andym_dc Hi Andrew, there's a 50% upgrade discount for uBar 3 users.

@edwardbrawer Hi Edward. You have a great product, but as someone who jumped on the bandwagon at uBar 2 and would like to stay on, I'm finding this higher price point to be deterring. Logging in and having my current uBar3 buggy is frustrating and the 50% discount is almost what I paid the first time around.
