HeyDockEvery mode brings its own desk.
Widgets sit in the dock next to your apps, and each mode has its own set. A widget only works while its mode is showing.
Writing gets a word count and a focus timer; Meeting gets your next event with a Join button; Building gets GitHub reviews and CI, Vercel deploys and AI usage; Founder gets today’s revenue.
There are thirty in all, including Now Playing, clipboard history, quick notes, reminders, weather, countdown, quick toggles, Shortcuts, batteries, a file shelf, On Air, Today’s Focus, Focus Garden, a photo frame, sky and a stock ticker.
Any widget can also sit on the desktop, bigger, in a top corner — and swap with the mode.
See it work.

Set it up.

Questions.
Do widgets slow the dock down?
Each widget polls only while its mode shows it. With everything on, HeyDock idles under 1% CPU.
