Iwan Dock

A launcher for people who hate launchers.

Iwan Dock keeps the apps you actually use in tidy floating panels, right where you leave them. It lives quietly in the menu bar and appears the moment you call it — no full-screen grid, no searching, no clutter on your Dock.

Build a panel for each part of your day — one for work, one for the side project, one for the evening — and arrange it once. Iwan Dock remembers where everything sits and brings it back exactly there.

FLOATING PANELS, YOUR WAY
- Group apps into as many panels as you like — by project, client, or mood
- Lay each panel out horizontally along an edge, or vertically down the side
- Drag an icon to rearrange it; the panel opens a gap to show where it lands
- Hold Option to fuse two apps into a group
- Drop a file onto an app to open it right there

A LOOK FOR EVERY PANEL
- Six hand-tuned themes: Iwan, Graphite, Parchment, Midnight, Sand, and Slate
- Themes are per-panel, never app-wide — calm dark for writing, warm for the daily stuff, bold for the side project, all on screen at once
- Or hand a panel any photo or wallpaper, and Iwan Dock reads its colours to match

WORKSPACES 
- Save whole sets of panels as workspaces and switch between them with a single keystroke
- Tuck a panel away into the menu bar and bring it back the instant you need it

QUIET, NATIVE, AND PRIVATE
- A native macOS app built in AppKit — fast, light, and right at home
- Sandboxed and signed
- No account, no sign-in, no analytics, no tracking — nothing ever leaves your Mac
