Description
If you work across two or three monitors, you've probably felt the same annoyance: macOS only gives you one Dock, and it's stuck on whichever screen you last set it to. ExtraDock lets you add as many docks as you want, put each one on a different display, and set them up however suits that screen — your main monitor keeps the apps you use constantly, a side screen gets a dock full of reference folders, and so on.
Under the hood, ExtraDock runs alongside (or instead of) the native macOS Dock, with display-aware attachment so docks reconnect to the right screen automatically when you plug/unplug monitors. Beyond basic app-launching, it adds widgets — a clock, a shelf for drag-and-drop files, app folders, a 'Live Dock' view, and even a small animated pet (TamaDocky) — plus visual customization like translucent 'liquid glass' backgrounds, color themes, auto-hide, and collapse-to-button modes. It's a paid utility from AppitStudio (also behind DockFlow, ExtraBar and Shiori), sold as a one-year license (€14.99), a lifetime license (€31.99, discounted from €39.99), or a 5-device team license (€99.99), each with a 14-day money-back guarantee. It requires a fairly recent macOS (26 Tahoe for the current version; ExtraDock 4 covers macOS 12-15).
💬 Our review
The short version: if multi-monitor setups are your daily reality and the single native Dock genuinely annoys you, ExtraDock is a well-built, narrowly-scoped fix — not a redesign of your whole desktop, just more docks, placed where you want them.
Compared to free alternatives like uBar or uHost-style dock replacements, ExtraDock leans into polish: customizable 'liquid glass' visuals, widgets (clock, shelf, live dock), and active development with a real support team behind it, rather than a bare-bones utility. Compared to just living with the native Dock and macOS's built-in per-display Dock behavior (which macOS itself doesn't really support well across multiple docks), ExtraDock fills a real gap Apple hasn't addressed. The lifetime license at €31.99 is a fair one-time price for a utility you'll use daily, and the 14-day money-back guarantee removes most of the risk. The catch is the macOS version requirement — the current release wants macOS 26 Tahoe, so anyone on an older system needs the older ExtraDock 4 build instead. Worth it if you multi-monitor daily and want your Dock to actually adapt to that; skip it if you're single-screen or rarely touch the Dock anyway.
