ExtraDock vs Taskbar Mac App 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.

Two different approaches
A Taskbar on Your Mac
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.
Docks That Feel Like Home
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.
Personalize the Look, Keep the Feel
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. All of it stays within the macOS aesthetic.

- Drag and drop: drop a file on a dock folder and it lands there
- Shelf: a temporary spot for files you'll need again in a minute
- Collapse: the whole dock shrinks to one button until you open it
