Turn your macOS Dock into a dynamic light bar that syncs with your music and brings your Dock to life in ways subtle or dramatic. Display track details and album art right beside the Dock, like songs ♥️, and control music playback with clickable controls that are always visible. Dock Party runs as a menu bar status item that doesn’t take up any app icon space in the Dock.

As I said in the comments, this is the first Mac app I have come across in a long time that is truly unique. I’m a little surprised it doesn’t have more upvotes. I found it while searching for a simple menu bar controller for Spotify — and it is in fact the nicest looking one out there — but the visualizer behind the Dock is just plain fun. I leave it on even when I’m not actually listening to music. There aren’t a whole lot of options when it comes to customizing the appearance of macOS (I’ve tried them all), but Dock Party is next level.

Love the app! About time someone brought creativity to the desktop. It would make sense for Apple to buy the app and just have it installed on all their computers. Love it.

With this major update, Dock Party now taps into macOS system audio directly to monitor the Spotify and Apple Music audio streams. No more microphone access required! This offers a number of benefits: Visualizers now work even when you’re using headphones; there’s no drop in audio quality (“call mode”) when listening through duplex Bluetooth devices; and visualizers now respond directly to the music without interference from ambient sounds. Version 3 also includes a new Dock background animation called “Neon”, enhanced pitch and waveform visualizers, and greater leveraging of the GPU to boost the efficiency and responsiveness of the visualizers and animations. The app is fully sandboxed and available in the Mac App Store.
