Installation#

Requirements#

  • macOS 12.4 (Monterey) or later
  • Works on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs

Download#

Get ExtraDock from extradock.app.

Setup#

  1. Open the downloaded .dmg file
  2. Drag ExtraDock to your Applications folder
  3. Open ExtraDock from Applications
  4. 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.
