URL Widget#

The URL widget opens a website, link, or URL scheme from your dock.

You can use it for websites, mail links, app deep links, dashboards, documentation, or anything macOS can open as a URL.

Adding a URL widget#

1. Open the management window → select a dock → Items
2. Click Add Widget
3. Choose URL
4. Enter the URL in widget settings

If you enter a website without https://, ExtraDock adds it automatically.

Title#

Enable Show Title Below Icon to show a label under the icon.

Leave the title empty to use the website domain, or enter a custom title.

Icon source#

Choose how the widget icon appears:

• Website Favicon — Fetch the site's favicon automatically
• SF Symbol — Pick a built-in macOS symbol
• Icon from URL — Download an image from a URL
• Icon from File — Import PNG, JPG, or ICNS from your Mac

Colors#

When using an SF Symbol, you can set the icon and background colors.

Quick presets include Blue, Green, Red, Orange, Purple, Light, and Dark.

Actions#

Click the widget to open the URL.

Right-click it for actions such as opening or copying the URL.
