Comparison
A uBar alternative only earns the name if it does what uBar did, a dock on every Mac screen, without swapping your native Dock for a Windows-style taskbar.
ExtraDock does the same job without the trade. You keep the native Dock and add as many more as you want, on any screen, every one looking and behaving like the Mac.

ExtraDock in 30 seconds.
Docks on every screen, widgets, and customization, in one quick tour.
uBar recreates the Windows taskbar experience on macOS: a bar of running apps, window switching and grouping, and a panel that runs along the screen edge.
It's served thousands of Mac users since 2014. macOS has changed a lot since then, and uBar still works much the way it always has.
ExtraDock stays with the Mac aesthetic, and it's tackling the same problem uBar did, a dock on every screen.
The difference is how. uBar replaces your Dock with a Windows-style taskbar; ExtraDock keeps the real one and mirrors it onto every screen, or lets you add custom docks of your own.
We pulled uBar's capabilities from its own feature list, so the table reflects what both apps actually do.

| Actively maintained | Yes See updates | No |

| Works alongside the native Dock | Yes | No |
| Multiple docks on one screen | Yes | No |
| Place a dock anywhere on screen | Yes | No |
| Window grouping | No | Yes |
| Dock widgets | Yes | Partial |
| Custom icons per dock | Yes | No |
| Pricing (Prices checked October 21, 2026) | From €14.99 | From $39 |
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.
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!
