App folders for
your Mac's Dock.
Group apps into iOS-style folders, pin them next to everything else, and launch from a clean popup grid. No private APIs. Nothing injected into the Dock.
Design
Feels like it shipped with macOS.
Dokr reads your real Dock settings and follows them, so folders look and behave like they belong there.
Live grid icons
Each folder's Dock icon is a 3×3 preview of the first nine apps inside, just like iOS.
Pops up from the Dock
Respects Dock position, auto-hide, icon size, and magnification. Esc or a click outside closes it.
Running indicators
Dock-style dots under open apps, updated live and matching your "Show indicators" setting.
Fast editing
Create, rename, and reorder folders. Add apps from a searchable list, the Finder picker, or drag and drop.
Declutter optional
Optionally remove grouped apps' own Dock icons when applying, like moving an app into a folder on iPhone.
Safe by design
Every Dock change backs up your layout first, and the last 10 backups are kept, so you can always roll back.
No hacks. Just apps.
Dokr never patches or injects code into the Dock. Every folder is a tiny native app.
Build a folder
Pick a name and drop in the apps you want together.
Apply to Dock
Dokr generates a small signed helper app for the folder and pins it to your Dock.
Click & launch
Click the tile, the grid appears, pick an app. The helper quits right after.
Questions
Short answers to the things people usually ask.
Is Dokr free?
Yes. Dokr is free and open source on GitHub.
How do I install it?
Open Dokr.dmg, drag Dokr into Applications, then launch it from there. On first launch macOS may ask you to confirm opening an app downloaded from the internet.
Why isn't it on the Mac App Store?
Dokr writes the Dock's preferences and generates folder apps, which sandboxed App Store apps aren't allowed to do. It's distributed directly instead.
Will it mess up my Dock?
Before every change Dokr saves your current Dock layout to ~/Library/Application Support/Dokr/Backups. Restoring is a single defaults import away.
What if I move an app to a different folder on disk?
Apps are stored by path with their bundle ID as a fallback, so a moved app still launches from its folder.
Which Macs are supported?
Any Mac running macOS 13 Ventura or later, on Apple silicon or Intel.
