Show HN: DockFlow – Switch between multiple macOS Dock layouts instantly

Thanks I wasn’t sure if it was possible to manipulate the dock like that without some kind of special permissions like are needed for menu bar customization (accessibility, screen recording, etc). These days I just don't use apps that require those unless they're extremely well known/trusted (and even then...)

This looks like it’s potentially great for my use case. I currently have spacers to separate groups of apps in my dock, but many of those apps I only use in specific situations (things like a bunch of IDEs I don't need when I'm not programming).

I'm going to give this a shot. Thanks.

Thank you! I understand you well. I tried to do my best while building it to prevent creating any features requiring special permissions. Let me know if you managed to try it. You can also manage spacers, files, and links using the DockFlow UI, so it can help you with every layout that you will need.

One suggestion, you should add some info about the lack of permission use to the landing page. I’m sure I’m not the only one that assumed it needed some and there’s no demo to confirm before buying.

You are totally right, I will add it as soon as possible.
