CLUSTER BAR-DOCK-MACOS · 18 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-24

macOS Dock management utilities

This cluster consists of macOS menu bar utilities that manage Dock behavior, including pinning the Dock to a chosen monitor, keeping it on the main display in multi-monitor setups, and previewing windows via the Dock with an alternative switcher. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from—it predates the index or its members are undated. Among traction leaders, MDockPreview leads with 5 stars, while docknet and stickydock have 0 stars.

ENTRY TIMELINE

JUL 2026OCT 2026

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
