extra-dock-updates is a macOS productivity application that lets users create multiple customizable docks across their desktop and external monitors. Unlike the standard macOS Dock, each ExtraDock panel can have independent applications, widgets, colors, and behavior. Users can position docks along screen edges or place them freely as floating panels. Display-aware configurations automatically hide and restore docks when external monitors are disconnected or reconnected. Built-in widgets include clocks, file shelves, application folders, and live views of running applications. Customization options cover icon sizes, backgrounds, orientation, transparency, and automatic hiding. ExtraDock can complement or replace the native macOS Dock. The associated GitHub repository distributes application updates, release information, and beta versions.
