Switch from uBar in three steps

  1. Quit uBar

    Quit uBar first so it saves its settings. You don't have to uninstall it.

  2. Import it into Moor

    In Moor, open Settings → Docks, choose +, then Import from uBar. Moor makes a new dock with the same apps, in the same order.

  3. Check the dock, keep the way back

    Look it over, then drag things around in edit mode (Control-Option-E). Your original Dock was saved first, and quitting Moor brings Apple's Dock back.
