Widgets#

Widgets are special dock items that go beyond app shortcuts. They add functionality like clocks, file shelves, URL bookmarks, and more directly into your dock.

Adding a widget#

1. Open the management window → select a dock → Items tab
2. Click Add Widget
3. Choose a widget from the widget picker. Featured and Beta widgets are listed first; search by name or category. Click Select on a card to read what it does, then Add Widget.

Each widget has its own settings — click the gear icon on a widget in the Dock Items tab to configure it.

Configuring widgets#

Open the management window → select a dock → Dock Items tab. Click the gear icon beside a widget to open its settings.

Right-clicking a widget in the dock shows Widget Settings, the widget's own actions, Edit Dock, and Remove Widget. Some widgets show their own menu instead, with actions such as refreshing data or hiding an item.
