IntelliDock hides the Dock when it's overlapped by a window.
ClipsI like the app. When a Zoom action is done on a window, it only fills up to the extent of where the dock was, so there is a gap left on the window size to the edge of the screen. This requires a second Zoom action to fill up the whole screen now that the dock is hidden.
Any chance this can be improved?

Hi Product Hunters!
I ❤️ macOS' Dock. But, when I need to get some work done, I prefer it to be hidden, so I can maximize my working space.
In System Preferences, macOS only allows the Dock to be either:
* always visible, or
* always hidden and visible when the pointer moves to the edge.
While, what I want is:
Visible only when nothing overlaps it (similar to intellihide feature in linux).
I built an app for this. I call it IntelliDock. Hope you find it useful! 🍻

BranchThe default Dock options are...lacking. This seems like a good alternative!
What I’ve wanted for a while is a way to hide the Dock, but show it when the cursor is on the edge of the screen AND I’ve pressed a modifier key at the same time. Like the default behavior, but only activated when the key is also used.

@alexdbauer Agree that the Dock options are limited.
I think the behavior that you've wanted can only be made possible by Apple, not third party app. However, if you want that because you find the dock appears unintentionally, you can try to increase the delay time by typing this command on terminal:
defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-delay -float 0.5; killall Dock
This will increase the delay to 0.5 seconds. You can change the 0.5 to whatever value you feel suitable.
To restore to the default:
defaults delete com.apple.dock autohide-delay; killall Dock

BranchThat’s my favorite command — I found it years ago and increased the delay all the way up to 5 seconds 😅

I miss the autohide of linux in Mac, and this app do the job !!
But if you use Zoom and BetterDisplay, he don't work.... Sadly.
How I can solve it using all apps? ThankYou man !!
