Hey everyone, After my first macOS app launch DockFlow, a few months ago, And the great support I got from this form, I am glad to announce my new product, ExtraDock!ExtraDock lets macOS users create multiple docks and place them wherever they want. It was designed to solve the struggle of having a single dock to serve a multi-monitor setup.Docks are fully customizable - colors, blur, opacity, border, etc. You can also add custom Widgets such as Spacers, Dividers, Clocks, and even cool widgets such as IP Address (always to show your external IP, great for VPN), or Stripe Dashboard Widget to show your gains :DExtraDock 4.0 also marks a very special release for me. It also includes the full integration with my other macOS dock app DockFlow. Having both apps work together (as fully separate apps) was very challenging, and very rewarding to pull off!ExtraDock 4.0 Launch is LIVE right now on ProductHunt , so feel free to check it out and support me https://lnkflow.io/u/visit/producthExtraDock was acquired by me a few months ago from a great fellow indie hacker, and I did a full refactor on the code and infrastructure.I really enjoy this app and plan to add many features in the future. You can check out the app on: https://lnkflow.io/u/visit/extradock Thank you

Could you build this?
No Building macOS dock clones requires deep AppKit, CoreGraphics, and private macOS WindowServer API knowledge that cannot be vibe coded.
What it would actually take: The app requires native Swift/Objective-C development interfacing deeply with macOS AppKit, Accessibility APIs (AXUIElement), and undocumented CoreGraphics/WindowServer window levels to render persistently over full-screen apps. Managing mission control events, dock icon bounce animations, drag-and-drop file targets, and app bundle process tracking requires specialized macOS desktop internals engineering.
