Product Description:

Dock-It is a multifunctional dock and Finder enhancer for the Mac OS X operating system. We decided to take a different path in regards to Dock-Its feature set. Many of our competitors clutter their offerings. Dock-It is simple and to the point. It has everything one would look for in a dock application and nothing else. The end result is an easy to use, yet powerful alternative to the competition. Major Features include :

  • Create more than one dock.
  • Docks can be used to hold files, folders, applications, scripts etc...
  • Dock-It shelf space can be used to streamline drag and drop of files/folders.
  • Dock-It shelf space can be used to streamline copy and pasting of text clippings and URLs.
  • Streamline drive access by placing all mounted drives in a dock. No more moving windows just to get at your desktop to open your hard drive.
  • Navigate folder contents without opening a single finder window.
  • Works with your favorite "Get Info" utility - you aren't locked into one.
  • Multiple Monitor aware.
  • Docks can be customized with custom colors or background images and transparency.
  • Built in Applets
  • Backward compatible with all your favorite Mac OS X docklings

I thought this was abandonware but it's back and I'm glad. So far it works like a charm under Snow Leopard and I'm very happy!! :-)

Dock-It Troubleshooting ReportSwitching users and dock disappears - Version: 2.5.2, 12/5/2006 06:32AM PST

When you switch between users and then back to the account running Dock-It, the dock is gone and the only way to bring it back is to do an Option-A to bring up the preferences, then simply close it -- then the dock reappears once again. Would be nice if this didn't have to be done.

Dock-It ReviewHow did I ever live without this? - Version: 2.5.2, 11/19/2006 01:10PM PST

I have been using Dock-It for several months now and have had no problems whatsoever (currently using OS X 10.4.8). It never crashes and it does everything it says it will do. It's so easy to use and I absolutely love not having to open the finder as often, taking the direct route to where I want to go.

I tried several extra dock software, but Dock-It is the one I stayed with, and was glad to pay the $10. You can put anything you want in the docks -- folders, documents, applications, et al -- and you can have the docks located all around the edge of your screen in differing sizes. You can have them show all the time or be hidden until you mouse over them. Adding items is as simple as dragging and dropping. There isn't any documentation to speak of, because it's so easy to use. Everything you need to know is right in the preferences.

My one and only tiny complaint is that it would be nice to resize the dock icons with a sliding scale like the OSX dock. Instead, you have a choice of Very Small, Small Medium, Medium, and so on, and the jump from Small to Very Small is too much. Small is too big for me and Very Small is too small. Something in between would be good, but that is just nitpicking.
