HeyDock

One mode at a time.

$19 one-time. $9 with code FOUNDING for the first 500 buyers.

Your dock reshapes itself around what you’re doing — writing, building, meeting — and asks before you drift.

One-time purchase · 7-day refund · macOS 26 on Apple silicon

More about Modes

Your Mac, right now.

45 things open. You meant to do one.

Building. Five things.

HeyDock keeps what this mode needs. Everything else waits its turn.

Modes

Pick a mode.
The dock follows.

Each mode brings its own apps, sites and widgets. Try one — then look at your dock.

Apps
Pages, Notes, TextEdit, Safari, Dictionary
Sites
Google Docs, Notion, Medium
Widgets
Word count, focus timer, today’s intention

On-device AI reads each window and site and tells you if it fits: “Fits Building · API docs.”

Stay or switch

Friction,
not walls.

Start a Focus session from the dock, then open something that doesn’t fit your mode: HeyDock asks first. Staying is one click. Switching takes a short wait — long enough to mean it.

x.com/home

Stay focused, or switch?

x.com belongs to Social.

Notification pen

Messages wait.
You don’t.

Notifications from apps outside your mode are held instead of popping up; urgent ones still get through. When you switch modes, you get one short digest of what actually needs you.

Where was I

Come back to exactly where you left.

Leaving a mode saves its apps, open files and front pages, plus a short note on what you were doing. Come back and it’s one click away.

Questions.

Does HeyDock replace my Mac Dock?

It can. Run it beside the Dock, or hide the Dock and let HeyDock take over — Downloads, Trash, badges, minimized windows and window previews all come along.

Is my data private?

Yes. Intent detection runs on Apple’s on-device model, so what you’re working on never leaves your Mac.

Why does macOS warn me the first time I open it?

HeyDock is signed but not yet notarized. Open it once, then go to System Settings › Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. Updates install without asking again.

What do I need?

macOS 26 or later on a Mac with Apple silicon. The site gate works in Chrome, Brave, Arc and Edge. Safari is coming.

Is there a free trial?

No — there’s a 7-day refund instead. If HeyDock isn’t for you, email us within a week and you get your money back.

What happens after 1.x?

Your copy keeps working forever, and every 1.x update is included.

Done for the day.

Tomorrow, pick a mode and start again.
