Smart Dock is an Android desktop-mode launcher that provides a customizable taskbar and desktop-like interface with multi-window support. It works on Android 10+ without root, requiring system-app installation or Shizuku for permissions.

Use cases

  • turn an android tablet into a desktop-like workstation
  • get a taskbar and multi-window on android without root
  • use keyboard shortcuts on android like a pc
  • customize launcher icons colors and sounds on android
  • replace samsung dex on other android devices
  • run android apps in floating windows

When to choose

  • you want a desktop experience on Android 10+ without rooting
  • you prefer an open-source, F-Droid-installable launcher
  • you need both desktop and tablet layouts with heavy customization

When to avoid

  • you need a simple phone launcher rather than a desktop mode
  • you cannot grant system-level or Shizuku permissions
  • you run Android below version 10
