Love it. I don't really use my dock at all, I keep it hidden, but it's such a great concept to separate contexts for different situations

And writing this I realized that macOS does have "spaces", however they don't switch out the dock, so all the open stuff still stays there

Anyway, very cool, congrats on launching

Thank you! I can see why you hide it. I thought about it a few times before creating DockFlow. Also, when building DockFlow, I discovered the folders, links, and spacer options in the dock, so I built a full custom dock per project with the needed folders and links when working on it. This makes the Dock a lot more useful.

Your tool also solves something that is a big frustration with spaces: they can’t be renamed

There are a couple of tools for renaming them but they don’t work very well, at least not on apple silicon macs

So with DockFlow you actually get to name your different contexts, which is really nice
