Floating app panels to replace your Dock & Launchpad
9 followers
Your Mac apps live in floating panels you arrange, lock, and summon on demand — grouped by project, client, or mood. Click an app and only your last window comes forward, never a pile of others. Native, sandboxed, no account. Free, with a $4.99 Pro unlock.
The "last window only" behavior is genuinely useful — usually my Slack or Notes windows pile up when I just want to check one thing. Dragging apps into little floating groups feels nice and native too, not janky like some tiling tools.
@yusufbakkuxn Really glad that one landed, it's honestly my favorite behavior in the whole app. The pile-up when you just want to peek at one Slack or Notes window was the exact thing that bugged me. And the no-jank part matters, it's native AppKit, so it should always feel like it belongs on the Mac. Thanks for trying it 🙏
finally something that fixes the mess of stacked windows when i switch between figma and slack, the panel pinning feels really native on my m2 air.
Finally something that gets the one-window-per-app rule right, my Dock has been a mess of overlapping previews for years. Love that it runs sandboxed and doesn’t want an account just to try it.
@gzdexquf Thank you, this is exactly the mess I wanted to fix. And yes, sandboxed with no account by design, you should be able to just try it without handing anything over. Appreciate you giving it a look 🙏
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Jamal, the maker.
I built Iwan Dock because I never got along with full-screen app grids or a cluttered Dock. I wanted my apps in tidy floating panels I could arrange, lock in place, call up when I needed them, and hide when I didn't. Everything stays exactly where I left it, so muscle memory actually builds instead of fighting a Dock that keeps rearranging itself.
A few things that make it different:
- Floating panels you group however you think: by project, client, or time of day
- Click an app and only the window you were last working in comes forward, not a pile of others, so opening something never buries your current task
- Native macOS app, sandboxed, no account, no tracking, nothing leaves your Mac
- One-time $4.99 Pro unlock, no subscription ever. There's a free tier to try it first.
It's just me building this, so I'd genuinely love your feedback: what works, what's missing, what you'd want from a launcher like this. I'll be around all day to answer questions. 🙏
