Live Dock

Live Dock shows running apps or mirrors the native macOS Dock inside ExtraDock.

It is useful for dock replacement setups, task switcher docks, and multi-monitor workflows.

Modes

Two modes are available:

• Running Apps — Shows apps that are currently running

• Full Dock — Mirrors the native macOS Dock contents

Running Apps mode is useful when you want a clean dock that only shows what is open right now.

Full Dock mode is useful when you want a second copy of the native Dock on another screen or edge.

Running indicators

Enable Show running indicator dots to show dots under running apps.

Hidden items

Right-click an item in Live Dock to hide it from the widget. Open the widget settings to show hidden items again.

Accessibility

Full Dock mode can use Accessibility permission to better match the native Dock’s exact order. If permission is missing, Live Dock still works with fallback behavior.
