Installation#
Requirements#
- macOS 12.4 (Monterey) or later
- Works on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs
Download#
Get ExtraDock from extradock.app.
Setup#
- Open the downloaded
.dmgfile - Drag ExtraDock to your Applications folder
- Open ExtraDock from Applications
- Enter your license key when prompted, or activate with a supported team account
That's it. ExtraDock appears in your menu bar and you're ready to create docks.
First launch#
On first launch, ExtraDock asks how it should appear:
- Menu Bar Only
- Dock App Only
- Both
You can change this later in Settings (⚙) → General.
Permissions#
Some features ask for macOS permissions when you enable them. For example, notification badges and window controls use Accessibility, while App Previews use Screen Recording.
See Permissions.
License Activation#
Your license is tied to your device. A one-time internet connection is required for activation. After that, ExtraDock validates locally with a server check every 7 days and a local fallback if you're offline.
Uninstall#
Drag ExtraDock from Applications to Trash. Configuration is stored in ~/Library/Application Support/ExtraDock/ if you want to clean that up too.
