Space You Already Had
The dock strip was always there, doing nothing. Docklet just puts it to work.
Why Docklet
The dock, the way it should be.
Docklet doesn't feel like an add-on. It feels like something Apple forgot to ship.
Always Glanceable
Widgets live in the dock strip — always visible and never breaking your focus.
Quiet by Design
Always there, never demanding. Docklet lives at the edge of your attention.
Privacy First
Docklet collects no personal data. Widget info never leave your Mac.
Widgets
What lives in your strip?
Each widget is built for the strip — glanceable by default, interactive when you need it.

FAQ
Good questions.
Everything you need to know before you install. More detail in the documentation.
What are Docklet's system requirements?
Docklet requires macOS Sonoma 14.0 or later on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
How do I get Docklet?
Docklet is available as a notarized direct download only. This gives us access to system APIs the App Store sandbox doesn't allow, which is how the Window Manager and System Monitor widgets work.
Is Docklet a Dock Replacement?
No. Docklet is a separate app that works naturally alongside the Dock, respecting its position and show/hide behavior. For the best experience, enable Automatically hide and show the Dock in System Settings.
Do widgets live in the Dock?
No. Docklet doesn't modify the Dock itself — it simply occupies the dead space when the Dock is hidden.
How do updates work?
Docklet uses Sparkle for automatic background updates. When a new version is available, you'll receive a quiet notification. All updates are cryptographically signed with EdDSA and delivered over HTTPS. You can trigger a manual update check from the preferences menu at any time.
What data does Docklet collect?
Almost none. Widget data — clipboard contents, now-playing information, system stats — never leaves your Mac. The only telemetry is opt-in, anonymised crash data sent via TelemetryDeck. No personally identifiable information, no behavioural tracking. You can disable it entirely in Settings → Privacy. See our full Privacy Policy for a per-widget data breakdown.
Does the AI Chat widget send my data anywhere?
Docklet never stores your prompts or responses. For cloud providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Perplexity, Duck.ai), your prompt is sent directly to the provider via URL query string — responses open in your browser, nothing is rendered inside the app. Apple Intelligence runs entirely on-device.
What happens to my Pro license when I get a new Mac?
Just download Docklet on your new Mac and enter your license key. Pro licenses are tied to a key, not a device fingerprint, so transferring is as simple as typing it in. If you're on the Pro ×3 plan, you have three independent keys that you can assign and reassign however you like.
How do I get support?
Start with the documentation — it covers most common questions in detail. For anything else, email help@madebycomputers.com. We're a small indie operation, so responses may take 1–2 business days, but we read and reply to every message.
