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.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Peter — robotics engineer by day, Mac apps on nights and weekends. docktor started as a dumb little itch: if you don't auto-hide your Dock, there's all this empty space on either side of it that just… does nothing. I wanted my calendar, weather, and now-playing right there with no extra menu-bar icon, no window to open. I also added Dock hover previews because clicking an icon just to see what's open always bugged me too and window level switching to cmd+tab. It's completely free, notarized, no account, no tracking. I'm a solo dev and this is my nights-and-weekends project, so I genuinely read everything. Two things I'd love your take on: (1) does it feel fast/native on your setup? and (2) which widget should I build next?

honestly love the hover preview idea, that alone makes it worth a try. one thing though — would be great if the widgets could be resized or reordered, because depending on my screen setup the music player ends up way bigger than the weather and it looks unbalanced. small QoL thing but makes it feel more like my setup
