Comparison
The Mac taskbar brings the Windows-style taskbar to macOS. Taskbar by lawand replaces your Dock with a bar that stretches across all your screens, with window previews and a start menu.
ExtraDock takes a different approach: it works alongside the default macOS Dock, letting you replicate the Dock across all your screens and add custom docks of your own.

ExtraDock in 30 seconds.
Docks on every screen, widgets, and customization, in one quick tour.
Taskbar by lawand recreates the Windows taskbar on macOS, and leans into window management: switch between an app's windows, hover for thumbnails, group windows together, and launch from a start menu.
If you came from Windows, Taskbar brings back that familiar layout.
ExtraDock stays with the Mac aesthetic: floating docks with rounded corners, translucency, and icons that look at home next to the native Dock.
Replicate the Dock across your screens or add custom docks of your own. Everything behaves the way macOS taught you.

No two docks have to look alike. Each one has its own colors, effects, borders, opacity, and icons.
Swap app icons, tint a dock to match your wallpaper, or give every project its own look. See how to customize the Mac dock. All of it stays within the macOS aesthetic.
ExtraDock is full of small quality of life features designed to improve your workflow:
Your dock doesn't have to live at the bottom. Put a dock on any screen, any edge, or let it float.
Your docks, on their best behavior. There when you need them, gone when you don't.
Don't take our word for it… Take theirs
Extradock has enjoyed, and will continue to enjoy, my rave support. When it comes to creating multiple docks, there is no other app that not only does this but also adds a massive amount of functionality. If your aim is countless docks, there are options. If your aim is countless docks with incredible customisation and placement anywhere on screen, there is only Extradock that has created this functionality and continues to lead the way. I fully endorse this app.
Just bought the app and I'm loving it so far! I already found the Effects section where you can add things like snowflakes or fireworks as background animations — great feature!
Didn’t know this app existed, I’m using two monitors (one for figma and indesign, and the 2nd monitor for entertainment like youtube and spotify) so this docks will help to organize my main app that I’m using frequently. Thank you! 🙏
wow this looks crazy powerful. had no idea you could this. Kudos!
I love this app so much! I'm using it like a launcher. I group my apps into ctegories and put many docks on my desktop.
Congrats on releasing the new update! Looks great :)
Really hyped to follow along this journey! :D Every time I open my app updater and spot ExtraDock, I get super excited because legit every single time there's something made smoother or generally better, and because I use the extra docks (ha) all the time, it's super noticeable. Really appreciate all the hard work and again, really excited for what's to come! ❤️✨
Fantástico perfeito Solution
I did not realise there was an update until two days ago, and again I was left incredibly impressed. I absolutely love all the new features.
Great work on this. Thanks
ExtraDock is my favorite launcher/switcher to use when I am remoted into my mothership machine. It makes things manageable when I am trying to use 27-inch displays via a 15-inch MBA.
This is a great solution to a problem that drives me nuts. The worst for me is when I accidentally get the Dock from my MBP onto the secondary display and have to get it back down on the MBP. Awesome app idea
Another excellent update to an already amazing app from a company that does customisation incredibly well. Thinking about trying the app, take it for a test run - I have been very impressed.
looks like an absolute time / life saver.
Cool idea, and very well executed
what a great idea!
