Build a Clean Dock Profile for Presenting and Screen Sharing on Mac

macOS has no presenting Dock: its Dock settings are global, and Focus only quiets notifications. In Moor, save your everyday setup as a profile, then make a second "Presenting" profile with one small dock that holds just the apps you'll demo. Switch to it with its Control-Option number, a moor:// link or a Shortcut, then switch back after. Meeting mode is something else: it hides revenue and quiets badges, and your dock stays the same.

Best Dock Replacement for Mac in 2026: Moor, uBar, Dockish and More

No one app is best for everybody. If you only want window previews, free DockDoor adds them to Apple's Dock. Dockish is the cheapest full replacement we checked that can put a dock on every monitor. uBar can run as a dock or a taskbar. For per-display docks with widgets, look at DockDoor Pro or Moor, whose widgets also cover sales and coding agents.

Switch Your Mac's Dock Setup Automatically When You Plug In a Monitor

In Moor, save one profile for your laptop alone and one for your desk (menu bar → Manage Profiles → Save Current Dock as New Profile…). Then, with each display arrangement connected, open Settings → Automation → Monitor setups, choose Add Current Setup and pick that profile. From then on, Moor switches profiles by itself whenever you plug in or unplug a display, whether a profile uses Apple's Dock, Moor's docks or both.

Mac Dock Keyboard Shortcuts Worth Memorizing (and How to Set Yours)

Apple's Dock has a few built-in shortcuts: Control-F3 (or Fn-Control-F3) moves focus to the Dock, and Option-Command-D shows or hides it. Moor adds more: Control-Option-1 to 9 switch profiles, Control-Option- goes back to the last one, Control-Option-Space opens the profile picker, Control-Option-F searches and Control-Option-E edits docks. To remap or clear any of Moor's, open Settings → Shortcuts.

Separate Dock setups for work and home on your Mac

macOS has no built-in way to save and switch Dock layouts. To keep a different Dock for work and home, save each setup as a profile in Moor (menu bar → Manage Profiles → Save Current Dock as New Profile…). Then switch with Control-Option-1 to 9, the Control-Option-Space picker, an optional trackpad swipe, or automatically when you plug in your work monitors.
