DockDoor is a free, open-source macOS utility that adds Windows-style window peeking previews to the Dock and an enhanced Alt+Tab window switcher. It is lightweight, privacy-respecting, and scriptable via AppleScript and a CLI.
Use cases
- preview open windows by hovering over dock icons
- switch between windows with alt-tab on mac
- manage multiple windows of the same app
- lock the dock to a specific monitor
- automate window management with applescript
- snap and position windows with keyboard shortcuts
When to choose
- you miss Windows/Linux-style taskbar previews on macOS
- you juggle many windows per app and need fast switching
- you want a free, open-source alternative to AltTab
- you want to script window actions via AppleScript or CLI
When to avoid
- you are on Windows or Linux
- you want a full Dock replacement (that is the paid DockDoor Pro)
- you need window management on iOS or other Apple platforms
