DockGroups

App Groups

• Organize apps into named groups, each with a custom emoji icon, stored by bundle ID.
• Pin important groups to the top of the sidebar.
• Create and delete groups directly from the main panel — no detour into Settings.
• Default starter groups (Work, Creative, Utilities) appear on first launch.
• Group data is saved atomically with owner-only file permissions, and the app tolerates missing fields so updates never wipe your groups.

The Floating Panel

• A panel anchored next to your Dock that positions itself correctly whether your Dock sits at the bottom, left, or right of the screen.
• Opens from the Dock icon or the menu bar; closes automatically when it loses focus.
• A collapsible sidebar toggles between full labels (with shortcut badges) and a compact icon-only rail.
• Frosted-glass or solid panel style, plus System / Light / Dark themes.

Open All / Close All — the signature feature

• Open All launches every app in a group with a small stagger (so macOS doesn't choke on simultaneous launches).
• Close All does the reverse, and this is something no competing dock app offers:
• Plain click → hides every app in the group
  • ⌥-click → quits them gracefully
  • ⌘-click → force-quits them
• Live indicators show which apps in a group are currently running, and clicking a running app restores its windows — including minimized ones.
