Highlights

• Create up to 8 independent Docks and use them at the same time.
• Place Docks on the left, right, top, bottom, or any corner.
• Add shortcuts to notes, Bases, canvases, and other vault files.
• Use built-in icons from Obsidian/Lucide, Tabler, Material Design Icons, Phosphor, and Bootstrap Icons, or use images stored in your vault.
• Configure auto-hide, reveal/hide timing, trigger areas, labels, motion, and macOS-style magnification.
• Show or hide each Dock by note name, exact path, folder, or tag.
• Customize Dock surfaces, borders, colors, gradients, item icons, and tile appearance.
• Reorder items with drag-and-drop or keyboard controls.
