Your MacBook Pro and its external display: the same Dock, in sync

The Dock you love.
Wherever you work.

No more trips back to the main display to launch an app.

🖥️

One Dock per display

Plug in a display and its Dock appears. Unplug it and it goes away. Nothing to do.

🔄

Live sync

Pin an app or change a setting in the real Dock: every copy follows in under a second.

🎚️

Faithful to your settings

Size, magnification, position, auto-hide, recent apps… DockEcho reads the macOS settings.

🔍

Smooth magnification

The hover wave effect, with tooltips and indicators under running apps, just like the original Dock.

🪄

Light and discreet

One menu bar icon, nothing in the Dock. No account, no telemetry.

🧩

100% open source

Written in Swift with AppKit, no dependencies. Read the code, tweak it, improve it.

One setting. Every display.

Change the Dock in System Settings as usual. DockEcho takes care of the rest.
