Set up HeyDock in two minutes

After you activate HeyDock, a short welcome walks you through the rest.

Pick two or three modes

Choose from Writing, Building, Social, Meeting, Design, Study and Founder. HeyDock fills each with apps you have installed, in your pick order, so your first mode is ⌥1, the second ⌥2, and so on.

The browser step (optional)

If Chrome, Brave, Arc or Edge is installed, the welcome offers the browser extension, which lets the gate work for websites. See Add the browser extension.

Your dock appears

The pill on the left shows your modes; the current one is filled in its colour. Click another to switch. Open at login is in Settings › General › Startup.

Next

• Keep Apple’s Dock and run HeyDock beside it, or replace the macOS Dock.
• Edit your modes to add apps, sites and widgets.
• Try Focus when you want the gate to start asking.
