Taskbar overview

Taskbar is a Dock replacement that shows individual items for every application's window, similar to Microsoft Windows's taskbar. Taskbar makes multi-tasking much easier as it's possible to switch between windows with a single mouse click on window items that are all always visible, as opposed to the built-in Dock's requirement to right-click and select the desired window from an unintuitive text menu that contains the list of the application's windows. Other Taskbar features include window thumbnails, application launching using pins, workspace support, and window and app controls using the context menu.

What’s new in version 1.2.5

  • Version 1 will remain free until an extended date of 2025-01-01.

Finally a worthy dock replacement! As a Windows user, this is exactly what I've been looking for. I've spent weeks trying various other ones, but they're all broken and poorly implemented. I appreciate that your taskbar shows the task titles. I'm overjoyed that I can rearrange tasks. And the breadth of options is astounding (I can even adjust the task width!).

I tried a few similar apps but they were all garbage. This one is good. I no longer need multiple monitors when traveling. I can quickly switch between 7 different Excel files while working on them at the same time. An application that mixes Windows usage habits with macOS stability. This works very stable. If the auto hide feature is added, I will completely stop using the dock.

I have almost stopped looking for a convenient replacement for the dock, because I am completely dissatisfied with the behavior of the dock with a lot of windows and monitors. This thing is like a breath of fresh air. She works like a native. I wish the project development.

I'm so glad I found this! It's exactly what I needed. As soon as the paid version is available, I'll be the first in line.

I've tried other taskbar replacements and this is by far the best one I've used, and contains all the features that suit my workflow. Everything feels very well thought out and detailed. Minimised windows are greyed out, grouping of same apps next to each other for quick access, single window opening when clicking on a tab, and it's stable and fast. The only bug I've found which is really not that big of a deal is that after a few logout/login cycles the taskbar may appear blank - which is easily fixed by closing and reopening taskbar again.

Moved to macOS from Windows and wasn't happy how the Dock manages multiple windows and focus, especially with a multi-monitor setup. After trying out several alternatives this is what I settled on. It's missing fine customization, but the dev has nailed the core featured I needed the most. tl;dr - if you miss windows-like taskbar, this is it!
