How to

Show Dock on All Screens on macOS

macOS has no default setting to show the Dock on all screens.

You didn't miss anything. It was never there.

ExtraDock was built to solve exactly this. It puts a dock on every display, packed with extra quality of life features.

It's Not Just You

If you run multiple monitors, macOS still gives you just one Dock.

It stays on your main screen or jumps around after your mouse. The pain is real.

Back in 2013, with the release of OS X Mavericks, the menu bar made it to every screen by enabling "Displays have separate Spaces".

The Dock never did, and Apple has never said why.

A Dock on Any Screen, Anywhere

ExtraDock puts a dock on any screen, anywhere: any display, any edge, floating, or even as a desktop widget.

Keep it plain so it blends right in, or make it yours with colors, effects, borders, and opacity.

Added Quality of Life

ExtraDock is full of small quality of life features designed to improve your workflow:

  • IP widget: your current IP, right in the dock. Perfect for VPN users
  • Folder Stacks: stack folders behind one icon and keep your dock clean
  • Drag and drop: drop a file on a dock folder to move it there
  • Shelf: hold files there while you move between windows
  • Collapse: the whole dock shrinks to one button until you open it

Make It Personal

Every dock has its own look. Colors, effects, opacity, borders, even the app icons themselves.

Match your wallpaper, match your theme, or go full chaos. They're your docks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ExtraDock.

ExtraDock gives you multiple lightweight docks that you can pin anywhere across your screens. Use it as an add-on to your native Dock, or go all-in and replace it entirely — it's up to you.
Yes. ExtraDock works independently of the native Dock, so you can use both side by side or hide the native Dock and let ExtraDock take over. It's designed to fit however you work.
ExtraDock supports macOS 12 and later, including macOS 26 Tahoe.
Yes. ExtraDock has a setting that ensures resized and maximized windows respect your docks and won't cover them.
Yes. You can choose from a variety of both visual and behavioral customizations — colors, effects, opacity, borders, custom app icons, as well as auto hide/show, hide on full screen, and more.
Partially. macOS does not provide a way to read badges for Apple apps such as Mail and Messages, so those cannot be shown. Third-party apps like Slack and WhatsApp work as expected.
Yes, with limitations. ExtraDock docks can be attached to a specific screen, so they appear when that screen connects and hide when it disconnects. This relies on macOS identifying each display consistently. DisplayLink monitors and displays connected through docking stations or daisy chains can behave inconsistently, especially after sleep or replugging, which can affect screen recognition.
Live Dock mirrors your native macOS Dock on any screen, either your full Dock or just running apps. Dock Awareness shows only the apps running in your current Space and updates as you switch. Both update dynamically.
