A workflow closer to Windows
Taskbar layout, window-level buttons, and familiar interactions reduce the learning curve when you move from PC to Mac — without fighting an app-centric Dock.
macOS utility
Every window, its own button.
NaviDock keeps a separate taskbar button for each window, so multi-monitor workflows are not ruined when macOS brings every window of an app to the front. Familiar taskbar habits for people moving from Windows.
Why NaviDock
Built for switchers and multi-monitor setups
Native macOS materials and APIs, with taskbar-style window management where the system Dock falls short.
Real multi-monitor support
macOS groups work by app: clicking a Dock icon often activates that app’s windows on every display. NaviDock maintains an independent button for each window, so you can work on different apps on different screens.
Features
What you get
Native integration, appearance that follows the system, and practical daily-use details.
Multi-monitor support
Manage focus per window, not per app — multi-screen workflows stay predictable.
Native integration
Real macOS materials and Accessibility APIs — not a theme skin or a wrapper.
See before you switch
Hover any window button for a preview before you jump.

FAQ
Common questions
Why haven’t I received my email?
Check your spam folder first. License and trial keys are sent by email. If it still does not arrive, contact support@navi-dock.app from the address you used to buy or request a trial.
What is the difference between Basic and Pro?
Basic ($9.9) — continued use of the current major version you purchased, plus minor updates and security fixes for that major line. Does not include future major versions.
Pro ($19.9) — all major and minor updates released during the product’s supported lifetime.
Both are one-time purchases with no subscription.
How many devices can one license activate?
- Trial — 1 Mac, 7 days (one trial per email)
- Basic / Pro — 3 Macs, perpetual use
If you hit the limit, deactivate an older Mac from My Account.
Which permissions does NaviDock need, and why?
- Accessibility (required) — macOS requires this for apps that read window titles or move focus between windows. NaviDock uses it to track and manage window state; without it, behavior is not guaranteed.
- Screen Recording (optional) — needed for window thumbnail previews. The app still works without previews if you decline.
- Automation (optional) — used for Recycle Bin actions (drag-to-delete, empty trash). Declining disables those features.
Grant permissions via the menu bar NaviDock → Permission check or in System Settings.
Do I need to register an account to buy NaviDock?
No.
How if I forgot my license key?
You can view and manage your license keys & devices in My Account by entering the email you used to purchase.
How do refunds work?
Paid licenses can be refunded within 14 days of purchase from My Account (see the refund policy). Trial keys are free and non-refundable.
Which macOS versions are supported?
Tested on macOS Tahoe (version 26.3) and later. Intel and Apple Silicon supported.
