A second Dock for macOS

Your Dock, with superpowers.

ErDock adds a second, smarter Dock to your Mac: live widgets for your day, your markets, your Mac and your messages. Put it above the Dock, on any edge of the screen, or shape it any way you like.

macOS 14 Sonoma or later · Apple Silicon and Intel · Native, no web views

ErDock sits above your Dock, on every Space, without ever stealing focus from the app you're using.

Put it anywhere. Shape it however you like.

Seven placements, one bar. On the sides, widgets stay horizontal and pack themselves into rows, so nothing turns sideways and nothing is wasted.

The superpowers.

The small things that make ErDock feel like part of macOS.

Ask, on your Mac

Questions answered by Apple Intelligence's on-device model. Nothing leaves your Mac, and it costs nothing to use. ⌥⌘I

Quick messages

Start typing a name, pick from your contacts, send an iMessage or an email. Messages and Mail never open. ⌥⌘M

Charge before you go

An event across town in an hour, and your iPhone at 40%? ErDock tells you to charge it before you leave.

Join on time

Five minutes before a call, a notification with a Join button for Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex or FaceTime.

Profiles

Work, home, trading: each with its own widgets, placement and style. Switch from the menu bar.

Out of the way when you want it

Hide it automatically until the mouse touches the edge, or toggle it from anywhere. ⌥⌘L

It stays on your Mac.

No account, no tracking, no analytics. Your notes, todos, clipboard and settings live on your Mac. ErDock asks for each permission only when you use the feature that needs it, and keeps API keys in your Keychain.

ErDock only talks to the services your widgets need:

WeatherData from MET Norway
StocksFinnhub, with your own free key
CryptoCrypto.com Exchange and CoinGecko
Exchange ratesEuropean Central Bank, via Frankfurter

Questions

Does ErDock replace the macOS Dock?

No. It works alongside it. You can keep the Dock as it is, hide it and put ErDock on the bottom edge instead, or use ErDock on a side of the screen.

Which Macs does it run on?

Any Mac with macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Apple Silicon or Intel. The Ask widget needs macOS 26 with Apple Intelligence turned on.

What permissions does it ask for?

Only what a widget you turn on needs, and only when you first use it: Calendars and Reminders, Contacts for Quick, Automation for music and messages, Location for battery alerts, and Notifications.

Do I need any accounts?

No. The Stocks widget uses your own free Finnhub key, which you can add in Settings if you want stock prices. Everything else works out of the box.

Can I use it on more than one Mac?

The Personal license covers one Mac and Multi-Mac covers three. You can move a license between Macs at any time from Settings → License.

Does it work with multiple displays?

Yes. Choose which display the bar lives on, or drag it to any screen in the free placements; it resizes to fit each screen.
