URL Widget

The URL widget opens a website, link, or URL scheme from your dock.

You can use it for websites, mail links, app deep links, dashboards, documentation, or anything macOS can open as a URL.

Adding a URL widget

  1. Open the management window → select a dock → Items

  2. Click Add Widget

If you enter a website without https://, ExtraDock adds it automatically.
