Docktor adds widgets to empty macOS Dock space
Docktor turns unused desktop space flanking the macOS Dock into a dashboard for customizable widgets like music controls, calendar events, weather, and system stats. The utility also adds live window hover previews to Dock icons and upgrades the Cmd+Tab switcher with live thumbnails.
Docktor smartly reclaims dead desktop real estate that Apple has overlooked for years while offering a clean remedy for menu bar bloat.

- –Boosts window switching efficiency via live hover previews on Dock icons and an upgraded Cmd+Tab switcher.
- –Built with a local-first architecture that runs privately without accounts or telemetry.
