Product Description:

The main purpose of DragThing is to make items on your Mac such as files, folders, applications, disks, URLs, and even windows, quickly and easily accessible, while taking up as little space on your screen as possible. The main elements with which DragThing enables this speedy access are its docks. DragThing?s docks, unlike the Mac OS X system dock, are highly configurable and you can have multiple docks, customised to suit your specific circumstances. DragThing also allows you to define a huge variety of hot keys. These hot keys can open items in docks, control various other aspects of DragThing and even control the visibility of and switching between other applications running on your Mac. DragThing can also provide you with a Trash on your desktop, play sounds in response to actions like ejecting a CD, and a lot more besides.

I've been using DT for eons.

I think this software and its developer should be used by other developers as benchmarks for quality, usefulness and reliability.

I've never had any issues with this software and its customisation means I can set it up just how I like it and just get on with using it.

Outstanding.

I'm using DT for 10+ years ... in my opinion is one of the best examples of useful, elegant, very-difficult-to-live-without applications. Timely and effectively updated when needed, no useless 'upgrades'. Thank you!
