The problem
A full Dock replacement can be too much at first.
Some users want better window switching but do not want to hide or replace the native Dock. They need a lighter entry point.
Use the menu bar as a Dock
Use the macOS menu bar as a Dock entry point.
Notch Dock opens a window-switching tray from the notch, menu-bar icon, or a configured shortcut. It replaced the older Menu Dock in version 2.21.7; Dock folders and plugins remain separate parts of the full Dock workflow.
The InfyniDock workflow
Start with Notch Dock.
Notch Dock reveals a tray of window previews at the notch on a supported display. On other displays, use its menu-bar icon or shortcut to open the selector.
What Notch Dock can expose
Pinned apps
Keep frequently used apps and windows close to the menu bar.
Plugins
Launch InfyniDock utilities without needing the full Dock visible.
Window previews
Open a visual switcher for exact window activation.
Best for
- Users who want to keep the native Dock
- Laptop users who want more vertical space
- Users who prefer menu bar utilities
Not the best fit for
- Users who want a permanent visible Dock
- Users who do not like menu bar apps
