## What it is
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
