Turn your macOS Dock into a dynamic light bar that syncs with your music and brings your Dock to life in ways subtle or dramatic. Display track details and album art right beside the Dock, like songs ♥️, and control music playback with clickable controls that are always visible. Dock Party runs as a menu bar status item that doesn’t take up any app icon space in the Dock.
This is the 2nd launch from Dock Party. View more

With this major update, Dock Party now taps into macOS system audio directly to monitor the Spotify and Apple Music audio streams. No more microphone access required! This offers a number of benefits: Visualizers now work even when you’re using headphones; there’s no drop in audio quality (“call mode”) when listening through duplex Bluetooth devices; and visualizers now respond directly to the music without interference from ambient sounds. Version 3 also includes a new Dock background animation called “Neon”, enhanced pitch and waveform visualizers, and greater leveraging of the GPU to boost the efficiency and responsiveness of the visualizers and animations. The app is fully sandboxed and available in the Mac App Store.
