Features: Workspace Profiles, Multi-Account, Deskpad

Workspace Profiles

Know which hat you're wearing.

Never wonder which account you're using.

Each workspace has its own accent color across the titlebar and frame, plus a ring on its sidebar icon that fades the longer you've been away.

Multi-Account

Both Gmails. Zero gymnastics.

Gmail Work and Gmail Personal in the same workspace, side by side. Separate sessions, separate badges, separate logins.

Every app in a workspace stays signed in as that workspace's account. Adding the same app twice under two accounts is the ordinary way to use Dockside, not a workaround.

Deskpad

Tasks, links and notes, without another app to open.

Deskpad sits one click from the sidebar: the task you will forget, the link you will need later, the note you keep meaning to write.

Deskpad in Dockside: a clock and weather band, the Tasks, Links and Notes tabs, counters, the capture box, and tasks grouped under Overdue, Today and This week.

Quick Capture

Catch the thought before it's gone.

Press ⌘⇧A anywhere in Dockside. Type the thought, press Enter, and you are back where you started.

Deskpad reads the details of your task, like the date, status and people, straight from what you write. All done locally on your machine.

⌘⇧A FROM ANY APP · TYPE · ENTER

Links

Save a link. It opens where you already use it.

Click a Notion link and Notion opens, in the workspace it lives in. If there is no app for it, it opens in your browser.

Focus Sessions

Focused work, built in.

Everything else goes quiet. Start a session and the sidebar dims, a timer runs, and your current app takes the full screen.

Named Docks

Your most-used app pairs, one click away.

The two apps you always use together, one click away. Save any pair as a named Dock in the sidebar: Client A’s Slack next to their Linear.

Universal Command Palette

⌘K, everywhere.

⌘K gets you anywhere without hunting for it. Any workspace, any app, or a page you visited recently, with fuzzy search.

Split View

Two apps, side by side.

Keep your reference open while you work. Chat on the left, doc on the right, one resizable divider, all inside the same workspace.

Private Browse

Browse without leaving a trace.

Look something up without it following you. One click starts a clean, red-tinted session that forgets everything when you close it.

Locks

Lock Dockside, workspaces and apps.

Touch ID or a password opens it again. It is an access gate for the people around you, not disk encryption.

Find anything, in any app.

⌘F searches inside the app you're in, and the arrow keys step through the matches.

Every shortcut, one keystroke away.

Learn the app without digging through menus. Press ? for every shortcut on one card.

Dark, Light, or follow the system.

Match your Mac’s appearance, or choose the one you prefer and leave it.

Update when you’re ready.

New versions download quietly in the background. A restart button appears in the titlebar when one is ready, so you update on your own schedule.

Share a workspace setup.

Hand someone your whole setup. Copy a workspace as a link; anyone with Dockside imports it in one click.

Notifications that land you in the right place.

Get notified even when Dockside is in the background. Click one and you land in the right app, in the right workspace, already signed in.

All your notifications. One badge.

One number for everything waiting. Every app and workspace, summed on the Dock icon.

Clear every badge in one pass.

One shortcut stacks every unread, from every workspace, into a single list. Work down it once and you’re back to zero.

Pick up where you left off.

Quit and Dockside asks where you stopped. Open it tomorrow and the note is on screen, with what was open and where your time went.

Your apps are already here.

Start with a full catalog. Search by name or category, or add any app or site that isn’t there with a URL.

What Dockside actually does.
