## What it is
Doll is an open-source macOS menu bar app that mirrors Dock app badges (unread counts from Mail, Slack, Teams, etc.) into the menu bar so they stay visible in full-screen or multi-monitor setups. It uses the macOS Accessibility API to read badge updates and requires user permission.

## Use cases
- see unread message badges while dock is hidden
- monitor slack and teams badges on a second monitor
- get persistent unread indicators in the mac menu bar
- never miss messages while working full screen
- show app notification counts as menu bar badges

## When to choose
- you hide the Dock or work in full-screen apps on macOS
- your messaging apps lack menu bar icons
- you use multiple monitors where the Dock isn't visible
- you want an open-source, self-compilable utility

## When to avoid
- you are not on macOS 11.0 or later
- you are unwilling to grant Accessibility API permissions
- you need Windows or Linux support
