Dockables! Now 8x’s as great!

May 29th, 2007 § 9 comments

Today, I am releasing Dockables 1.0.3. Dockables has received great recognition, most notably an Apple Staff Pick.

Dockables 1.0.3 includes one new program, Close Apps. Close Apps allows you to one-click close all open apps for your user (Thanks to Justin Wallace for the request). New icons are also a new feature of this version of Dockables.

If you looked closely at the screen shots above, you will have noticed that all of the Dockables are behind a black line. I like to call that little black line a “Dock Snap.” DockSnaps are a new feature in Dockables as well… They allow you to put a border anywhere on the dock to separate applications.

I hope that you enjoy this new version of Dockables, it is avaliable as a free download here. Just like with all the previous versions of Dockables, if you have any recommendations about a specific Dockable you would like to see in the next version, reply to this post, and I will try to build it into the next version!

    im not going to lie, when i downloaded this from apples website i was disappointed, but that was just because i thought you could pick from any actions in mac that could be executed. however, i really like this program for what it is. I think its a great program and with a few more features im sure it will be on the docks of many mac users. one new feature that i would really like to see is an “empty trash” icon.

    Thanks for all your hard work, and keep building on this great program.

    Cooper, the Empty Trash icon is fourth from the left.

    Hi, LOVE the Dockables! Very handy and useful!!

    However, is it a limitation that I can only use the DockSnap Line ONCE in the Dock? When I try to add 1 more, the previous one (1st one) just shift to the new position…

    Hope we can use more than once for the line seperation.

    Thanks

    The next version of DockSnaps will allow for multiple snaps in the dock.

    Hi Cory: Just wanted to say how great the Dockables are! I installed them yesterday and already feel like I’m working twice as fast as ever (although I’ll admit to accidentally shutting down my mac a few times while trying to rearrange the order in my dock).

    Anyways… just wanted to say thanks for the hard work, and for making these available to everyone!

What's this?
