DockPops 6.0 brings your Pops to life — and lets you restyle them just by asking. Change a Pop by just asking Tell the new Assistant what you want — "make it feel like a walk in the forest," "add Safari," "switch to list view" — and it changes the selected Pop while you watch. Every change is listed, and Undo takes it back. (Premium, macOS 27) PopFX live backgrounds A new kind of background that moves and responds to your pointer: arcs, curtains, waves, marble, snow, embers, falling code, and more. There are now 23 built-in themes, 11 of them PopFX. A brand new theme manager DockPops comes with 23 built-in themes and a new theme manager that makes it easy to save your custom themes and use them across your Pops. A redesigned UI DockPops 6.0 makes the customization controls friendlier and easier to use. The new App drawer makes it easier to find apps for your Pop, and the redesigned inspector allows you to control every aspect of how your Pop looks. A keyboard shortcut for each Pop Give any Pop a Control-Option shortcut and open it at your pointer from any app. (Premium) Add Files… Add files and folders to a Pop straight from the setup window — or press Shift-Command-F. (Premium) Show with this icon On the Dock tab, choose which Pops you can swipe to from a Pop's own Dock icon. More accessible Clearer VoiceOver labels and announcements, more of the setup window within reach of the keyboard, and Reduce Motion and Reduce Transparency respected throughout. Plus, Pop limit has been increased from 20 to 100, an updated Help book, and fixes and polish throughout.

This update adds macOS27 support on top of the following improvements: • New: Redesigned app drawer makes it easier to find apps for your Pops • New: List View and Tile view added along side the traditional icon grid view • New: Theme manager interface makes making and managing themes easier. • New: Pop Border options • Updated: Materials and Liquid Glass rendering to make Pops more beautiful • Redesigned sidebar to make customizing your pops more fun and intuitive

• New: Lock popover size while swiping — the popover stays at your largest Pop's size, so nothing jumps around as you move between Pops. Find it in Settings → Popover. • Themes now save your label font size and Dock Icon styling — and applying a theme no longer resets your custom Dock Icon colors. • The Glass Effect slider now appears for every Pop, including ones still on the default background. • Using DockPops Companion? You'll be asked once to download the latest version so updates keep flowing smoothly.

DockPops 5.0 makes your Pops beautiful — and lets you fly between them. Pop Groups Group related Pops behind a single Dock icon and swipe through just those — one icon per project, mood, or context, instead of a Dock full of them. Quick switcher Jump straight to any Pop from a new inline menu — no more swiping to find the one you want. Deep theming options Restyle a Pop top to bottom — and save the whole look as your own theme. Start from a dozen built-in themes (Sunset, Ocean, Matrix, and more), then make it yours: backgrounds in color, gradient, or your own photo with a Glass Effect slider; single-color or gradient borders; your own app-label font, size, weight, and color; and Dock icons that match the theme or get their own look. Smarter suggestions On-device Apple Intelligence now grounds its picks in each Pop's category, so the apps it suggests actually fit (macOS 26).

1 – DYNAMIC ICONS. The Dock icon now looks like an iOS folder and automatically updates as you swipe between pops or if you add/remove items from the pop. 2 – MULTIPOPS (beta).

Other small updates: – Bug fixes and performance improvements – Tweaked default icon – Added arrows and clickable dots to switch between Pops in the main carousel

Yuge update. DockPops 2.0 introduces the two most requested features: 1 – DYNAMIC ICONS.

Click and Drag support If you don't have a Magic Trackpad or Magic Mouse, you can now click and drag horizontally to swipe between Pops and Pop Settings. Rename Your Apps Hover any app name in the editor and click to rename it. Your custom names show everywhere — the popover, the organizer, even when sorted alphabetically. Clear the name to snap back to the original. Shortcuts & User Apps DockPops now discovers Shortcuts droplets, Steam games, and other apps in ~/Applications. Grant access once in the App Browser and they appear alongside your regular apps — with their proper names and custom icons. Smarter App Browser The filter bar has been redesigned. Sort and Filter are now clean dropdown menus, and Categories lives in its own popover so you can check multiple at once without it closing on you. Also, it's called "App Browser" now because that's what it is. Fixed a Premium Upgrade issue when App Store couldn't be reached If the App Store can't be reached when you try to unlock Premium, you'll see a clear error with a "Try Again" button instead of a mysteriously dead Unlock button. Under the Hood Persistence has been migrated from UserDefaults to SwiftData. Your existing Pops, items, colors, and sort orders migrate automatically on first launch. You won't notice a thing — that's the point.
