CLUSTER BAR-MENU-DOCK-2 · 6 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-03

macOS Dock layout managers

This cluster comprises macOS utilities for saving, switching, and managing Dock layouts, with some also organizing menu bar icons or linking wallpapers to profiles. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from; only 0 dated entries exist before the index start, so the cluster predates the index or its members are undated. Traction leaders are open-bar (7 stars), followed by Shitsurae (3 stars) and dockspace (2 stars).

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.
