DockDuck 1.1.7 is out 🎉

This release is about getting files out of your Mac: to other people, off a full disk, and in from your iPhone.

Send a file as a link

Select a file, choose Share Link, and DockDuck gives you a link to send to anyone. They open it in any browser, with no app and no account. The file is encrypted on your Mac before it leaves, so nobody else can read it, not even us. A link holds up to 2 GB, and several files or a folder travel as one zip.

Each link is yours to shape: it can last 24 hours or 7 days, ask for a password, show your name to whoever opens it, and allow the download or only a preview. A Shared page in the sidebar lists every link you sent with its expiry and download count. Copy it again, show its QR code, or revoke it and it stops working at once.

Sending links comes with a license and is not part of the free trial.

Free Up Space

Open it from the Trash to see what is using your disk. A bar shows where the space goes, and DockDuck suggests what is safe to remove: downloads you have not opened in a year, installers for apps you already have, zip copies of folders you still keep, large files you have not touched in six months, and caches that developer tools rebuild on their own. You review each suggestion before anything moves, and everything goes to the Trash first.

There is also a map of your disk, as blocks or as rings. Click into the big folders and collect what you want to remove in a tray. And when a disk is almost full, DockDuck warns you before your Mac does.

Import only the new photos from your iPhone

Import New compares your iPhone or iPad with the folder you pick and copies only the photos that folder does not have yet. It checks each copy, picks up where it stopped if the cable comes loose, and remembers the folder for each device. When it finishes, it offers to delete the imported photos from the device to free space there.

Servers open next to your Mac

Connect to an FTP or SFTP server and the window shows your Mac on the left and the server on the right, so you can drag files across. The server side lists each file's permissions, owner and group, and a small note at the bottom says what the server is doing while it connects. FTP is faster, older SFTP servers connect, and you can edit or rename a saved server right from the sidebar.

Renaming, done right

When you rename a file, only its name is selected, so typing replaces the name and leaves .pdf alone. The cursor lands in the box every time, and the arrow keys move through the text instead of the file list.

Smaller things

Tabs now share the title row, which leaves more room for your files. Double-clicking an app opens it, and Show Package Contents is there when you want to look inside. Sort by one thing, then by another. Close Other Tabs and Close Tabs to the Right. Recents shows folders too. The Dock icon follows the tinted and clear icon styles in macOS. And if you use the Claude app, you can let it open folders and move, copy or tag files for you, off by default and always asking first.
