This is great! Snazzy labs showed a way of doing this in terminal, but adding an interface to do so is so much easier. Thanks Igor.

@jmckinven thank you 🙏

Hey Hunters 😽 I don't know about you, but I like to tinker with my mac's settings and since the Dock always seemed kinda slow to me, I've tried to make it a bit faster and snappier. The thing is, you can only do that from the Terminal and since not everybody is comfortable with doing things there I thought I would make an app around it and make it easier so even non-technical people can change these settings. The app itself is not something you'll use every day or even regularly, you'll set it up once and forget about it, but it was a fun little project to work on so I hope you'll find it useful 😉 Cheers, Igor ✌️

@manny_orduna thank you! 🙏

This is stupendous for people with more than 1 screen! Dock now pops up the instant I put my mouse on the other screen!
Igor Stumberger
@ryan_haft umm...had to google "stupendous" since I was worried it meant bad 😅

This looks great. Is there any indication inside the app to show which option is the macOS's default option?
Joshua Pinter
@pwign It does. It's a little cryptic, though. He's got it labeled as "Default" for some reason. /s

@joshuapinter Ouch 😔 My bad

I know these settings could be done quickly in the terminal but this little app wraps a beautiful interface around it. Great job. I've changed my dock settings to auto-hide with no animations and instant display. This'll probably save me a minute of my life every day. Doesn't seem like much but that's nearly 6 hours a year. Or the equivalent of one season of Silicon Valley.

@joshuapinter thank you 👊 Hahaha you actually went and did the math 😂

You gotta fix your website for sm sizes. Works great on xs, doesn't work so great on sm.
Igor Stumberger
@saifalfalah shit, I was so focused on launching that I totally forgot to check this 😅 Which size/device are you looking it on? Thanks for noticing, will fix! 👊

@saifalfalah @curiousigor Maybe focus on the area between 880px to 465px. Seems to be where your content is flowing off the viewport ;)
Igor Stumberger
@saifalfalah @_rlntlss thanks, will take a look as soon as I can ✌️

I was aware you could do this using terminal commands, but I could never be bothered to change it so I just kept the dock. This was exactly what I needed to see if I could go full-time without the dock and have that coveted extra screen real estate. However, I think this should be like a £0.99p app, I feel bad when someone creates this and I get to use it for free.

Pros:

WYSIWYG, great interface, am now converted dockless user

Cons:

None
