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

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