About

I’m a Software Engineer with a background in robotics and autonomy. My career has taken me from building autonomous robots to developing large-scale software systems, but I’ve always loved creating tools that improve everyday workflows. Docktor started as a side project to solve a problem I kept running into on my own Mac. I wanted live information and useful controls directly in the Dock without sacrificing the native macOS experience. What began as a personal project has grown into an app focused on making the Dock smarter, faster, and more useful.

docktor - Your Dock's wasted side space, now full of widgets

If you don't hide your Dock, you've probably got wasted space sitting on either side of it. Docktor fills it with widgets you actually glance at: music, calendar, weather, system stats and more coming soon. No extra menu-bar icon fighting for room. No separate window to open. Just the stuff you check constantly, parked in space your Mac was already wasting. It also adds hover previews to your Dock — mouse over an app and see its open windows without clicking.
