DualDock
Overview
DualDock
Your Dock, on the display that needs it.
DualDock gives your second display a familiar Dock while respecting full-screen apps. When one display enters full screen, DualDock stays available on the other. When both displays are full screen, it gets out of the way.

Why This Exists
Sound familiar?
Without DualDock
- The system Dock jumps to the display you did not expect
- A full-screen app can leave the other display without a Dock
- Moving the pointer to another screen just to switch apps breaks focus
With DualDock
- Keep Dock access on the display that is not full screen
- Hide automatically anywhere full-screen content is playing
- Mirror the order and behavior you already configured in macOS
Workflow
How it works
A clean, three-step flow designed to get value in under a minute.
Choose Open at Login
Approve the one-time macOS login-item prompt so your second Dock is ready whenever you sign in.
Work across both displays
Move between apps and full-screen spaces. DualDock follows the display state without covering full-screen content.
Capabilities
Built around what matters.
Core functionality focused on speed, privacy, and output quality.
A familiar Dock on both displays
DualDock follows the apps and order in your macOS Dock, including running indicators, folders, Downloads, and Trash.
Full-screen aware
Use full screen on one display and keep a Dock on the other. Put both displays in full screen and DualDock hides on both.
Native macOS glass
System materials, real app icons, notification badges, and Dock-style spacing keep the second Dock at home on your desktop.
Deep Dive
Built for real-world usage
Use Case 1
Designed to match the Dock you already know
DualDock uses real application artwork, Dock-style running indicators, clear system material, and matching spacing instead of approximating your apps with generic shortcuts.
The native macOS Dock used as DualDock's visual reference
Use Case 2
The same apps, in the same order
Your second Dock mirrors the important parts of the system Dock, including app order, running state, separators, folders, Downloads, and Trash.

Frequently asked questions
What Mac setup does DualDock require?+
DualDock requires macOS 14 or later and is designed for Macs using two displays.
Will DualDock cover full-screen video or games?+
No. DualDock hides on a display while that display has a full-screen app. If only one display is full screen, it remains available on the other; if both are full screen, it hides on both.
Does DualDock replace or change the system Dock?+
No. It supplements the system Dock and reads its layout locally. DualDock does not modify your macOS Dock preferences.
Is DualDock a subscription?+
No. DualDock is a one-time $3.99 purchase with no subscription or in-app purchases.
How do I download DualDock and install updates?+
Buy securely through Grove's Stripe checkout, then download the signed and notarized DMG from your confirmation page. Keep that confirmation link to download the current version again. Updates are installed manually by replacing DualDock in Applications; the app does not run an automatic updater.
Why does DualDock need Accessibility permission?+
Accessibility lets DualDock read the system Dock's running apps, notification badges, and window state so your second Dock can mirror them. Enable DualDock in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility. This information stays on your Mac.
How does license activation work?+
Your license key appears after checkout. Enter it in DualDock to activate up to two Macs. You can deactivate a Mac from the License menu. Connect to activate and renew your license; an activated Mac can work offline for up to 14 days. Your purchase does not expire.
Why does macOS ask about opening DualDock at login?+
Open at Login keeps DualDock available after you sign in. DualDock asks first, and you can disable the login item at any time in System Settings.
