See your apps
Each active app gets a visible desktop presence, so your workspace is easier to scan.
Beta for macOS
A new way to use the Dock on your Mac.
LivingDock turns running apps into small animated companions you can hover, preview, and click back into.
Download beta
Free macOS beta. Zip includes the notarized app.
Preview windows
Hover a companion to peek at related windows and jump back into the right one.
Feel the state
Pets can react to music, meetings, focus work, and the apps you keep open all day.
What it is
A desktop layer for the apps you actually use.
LivingDock gives running apps a small animated presence on your desktop. Instead of hunting through tiny Dock indicators, you can see app state, hover for context, and click straight back into the window you need.
Why it feels different
Your workspace becomes easier to read.
Music can move, calendar can wait, work apps can stay visible, and inactive windows stop disappearing into the background. It is still a Dock, just more spatial and alive.
