Moor vs. every other Dock app
Six ways to run your Dock, one row per thing you do with it. Then Moor's parts against AltTab, Rectangle, Bartender, Ice, SketchyBar, Homy, ForkLift and Path Finder. Every answer links to the page it came from, and where that page says nothing we say so.

Where each one wins
Apple's Dock
It is built into macOS, so there is nothing to install, pay for or trust. Source: support.apple.com
uBar 5
A taskbar with a button for every window, and a command bar you can type into or call with "Hey uBar". Moor has neither. Source: ubarapp.com
ActiveDock 2
It runs on macOS 14.6 and later, Intel or Apple silicon, and has a Start Menu launcher. Moor needs macOS 26. Source: noteifyapp.com
DockDoor Pro
It costs $20 for up to three Macs, has a taskbar style, an AppleScript dictionary and a community widget marketplace. Source: pro.dockdoor.net
ExtraDock 5
It starts at $14.99 for a year, runs beside Apple's Dock if you want, and ExtraDock 4 covers macOS 12 to 15. Source: extradock.app
Where Moor loses
- Price. Moor is $29. DockDoor Pro is $20, ExtraDock starts at $14.99 a year, and Apple's Dock comes with your Mac.
- macOS 26 only. ActiveDock runs on macOS 14.6 and later.
- No taskbar mode. uBar and DockDoor Pro have one.
- No Start-menu launcher. Moor has search, not a menu of every app.
Moor's parts vs. single-job apps
Moor's parts each do a job other apps do on their own. Every part comes with Moor, at no extra cost. Here is how they compare, with a source for every answer.
Helm vs. AltTab and Rectangle
Helm does a window switcher, snapping and saved layouts. AltTab does the switcher. Rectangle does snapping. About Helm →
Where AltTab wins
It's free and open source, runs on macOS 12 and later, and shows thumbnails, app icons or a list of titles. Search is in AltTab Pro ($9.99). Source: alt-tab.app
Where Rectangle wins
It's free and open source, and runs on macOS 14 and later. Source: rectangleapp.com
Where Rectangle Pro wins
Snap targets anywhere on screen, a snap panel, and workspaces that can arrange themselves when a display connects. It runs on macOS 13.5 and later. Source: rectangleapp.com
Mast vs. Bartender and Ice
All three hide menu bar icons. Mast also puts Moor's widgets in the menu bar. About Mast →
Where Bartender 6 wins
Reveal hidden icons by swiping, scrolling, clicking or hovering, custom triggers, and a 4-week trial. Source: macbartender.com
Where Ice wins
It's open source (GPL-3.0), runs on macOS 14 and later, and can show hidden icons in a separate bar below the menu bar, which helps with the notch. Source: github.com
Moor Bar vs. Bartender, Ice and SketchyBar
Bartender and Ice tidy and restyle Apple's menu bar. SketchyBar draws a bar of its own that you build with scripts. Moor Bar draws a whole menu bar of its own over Apple's, with Apple's menus and other apps' items in it, and you arrange it in Settings or ask your AI agent to. About Moor Bar →
Where Bartender 6 wins
It hides menu bar icons and shows them by swiping, scrolling, clicking or hovering, groups icons, shows items when a trigger such as battery, Wi‑Fi, location or time is met, and has a 4-week trial. Source: macbartender.com
Where Ice wins
It's free and open source (GPL-3.0), runs on macOS 14 and later, hides menu bar icons, and can show hidden ones in a bar below the menu bar. Source: github.com
Where SketchyBar wins
It's free and open source (GPL-3.0), and every item is a script you write, with animations and popup menus. Made for people who like to build their bar in code. Source: github.com
Hold vs. Homy, ForkLift and Path Finder
Hold and Homy show your files by kind and search in plain English. ForkLift and Path Finder are full file managers. About Hold →
Where Homy wins
It has a Quick Search from any app, and runs on macOS 14, Apple silicon or Intel. Hold has neither. Source: tryhomy.app
Where ForkLift 4 wins
A dual-pane file manager that connects to SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3 and Backblaze B2, and compares folders. Hold isn't a file manager. Source: binarynights.com
Where Path Finder wins
A 30-day trial with every feature, and monthly or yearly plans or a license. Source: cocoatech.io
