It's kind of hard to make a proper suggestion as the taskbar on Windows and the Dock on macOS are two different approaches to handling apps and application windows I wouldn't suggest ActiveDock2 as it appears somewhat alpha still. I guess you're talking about previews? when hovering Word in the Dock? Then there's DockMate and DockView.

There's a free trial for ActiveDock2 available too.ĭockMate DockView the latter is by the same author as the ActiveDock2 program I mentioned earlier. All mentioned applications hooks onto the Dock or extends it while having the Dock in the background for the purpose of e.g the Time Machine recover screen. So there's that too.Įxpect bugs and possible frustrations with either solution. DockMate is in active development last time I checked the MacEnhance Discord server and DockView is in beta still according to the website.Ĭlick to expand.No examples currently as I'm using Mojave and based on this thread I installed HyperDock. Even here I uninstalled because it didn't show my album cover art in the HyperDock popup overlay as I expected it would have. So that's where my comment stems from on HyperDock not having a good relationship with iTunes. I haven't used Big Sur for a couple of days now.

And all my experience is colored by the fact that I wasn't getting everything out HyperDock on Big Sur as I hoped. And not even on macOS Mojave's iTunes it would seem.

I think, I'll do some investigating on the iTunes thing at least.ĭo you use HyperDock from the Mac App Store or ? I have it purchased on the Mac App Store when it was allowed in there. I thought I had HyperDock in the Mac App Store listings. I had mistaken it for CoverSutra I think. I was fooled by the purple/pink icon appearance. I wish I could bring some proper evidence to the table to back up my claims.This answer only works for older OS versions (<=10)ĭragThing is a commercial application that can display a list of running applications. Osx hyperdock alternative download#ĭownload DragThing (thanks to this page for telling me about it).(so it won't get in the way of the Windows-like taskbar you are going to create, while you can still use it as a handy app launcher.) Click the in the topleft corner, click Dock, then click Left or Right to move the dock to left or right.It can be configured to create a Windows-like taskbar. It costs US $29 but you can try it for free. However, if you like it you should buy it. Open the downloaded DMG file, drag the DragThing icon to the applications folder, delete the DMG file, open the applications folder (or Launchpad if you have Mountain Lion) and open DragThing.Make sure DragThing is the active application (It says "DragThing" next to the in the topleft corner then), press ⌘+0 and close all the DragThing windows except the one that appeared when you pressed that.Set the following (got most of it from this page).Right click again on it and click "Dock settings.".Drag it to the center of the bottom of the screen.Right click on the window that appeared when you pressed ⌘+0 and click Rotate.
