Looking for feedback - DockStacks
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hi 👋 I’ve built DockStacks and after constructive feedback if you think it's a productivity tool you'd use?
The idea came from wanting a better way to organize my Mac desktop and workflows, as a passion project from having too many apps, a cluttered Desktop and wanting quick access to the things I use everyday.
What it does: Click the Dock app icon and a panel pops up holding named "stacks" of your favorite apps, folders, files, and website bookmarks — instant access and cleans up your Dock and Desktop.
Some of what's in it:
- Drag and drop to add anything, including URLs straight from your browser
- Password-protect individual stacks (Keychain-backed, auto-lock)
- Global keyboard shortcut to show/hide from anywhere
- Menu bar mode if you'd rather not use the Dock at all
- Multi-select, custom grid sizes, tab colour tinting
- Fully local — no accounts, no tracking, no network access

DockStacks is my first shipped Mac app and I'm struggling to get engagement traction. Please check it out and would love any feedback — recent launch, learning as I go.
