HyperDock

HyperDock brings Windows-style window management features to macOS by adding window previews when hovering over Dock icons, Aero Snap-style window snapping when dragging to screen edges, and app-specific quick actions from the Dock. The app bridges the gap between Mac and Windows window management paradigms for users who prefer Windows-style interactions.

Best For: Mac users who miss Windows window management features like Aero Snap and taskbar previews, or anyone wanting richer Dock interactions and visual window management.

Key Features

What window preview features does HyperDock provide?
Hover over Dock icons to see thumbnails of all open windows for that app. Preview shows live window content updated in real-time. Click thumbnail to activate specific window. Close, minimize, or fullscreen windows directly from preview. Works with hidden and minimized windows across all spaces.

How does HyperDock's window snapping work?
Drag windows to screen edges for automatic snapping (like Windows Aero Snap). Edges snap to halves, corners snap to quarters. Drag to top for maximize or fullscreen. Customizable snap zones and activation areas. Keyboard shortcuts trigger snapping without dragging. Multi-monitor support with per-display zones.

What Dock enhancements does HyperDock add?
App-specific actions appear on hover (iTunes controls, Mail compose, System Preferences panes). Recent documents from Dock icon hover. Window management actions (minimize all, arrange windows). Badge indicators show notification counts. Customizable delay before previews appear.

Can HyperDock customize window management behavior?
Enable or disable individual features independently. Customize snap zones, sizes, and positions. Adjust preview appearance, size, and delay. Keyboard shortcuts for all window actions. Exclude specific apps from snapping or previews. Integration with Spaces and Mission Control.
