Your Dock, your way
App Palette is a beautiful dock replacement that turns your app launcher into something personal. Organize your favorite apps into themed collections, launch anything with keyboard shortcuts, and make your Mac truly yours.
$2.99 — one-time purchase, no subscription
Organization, speed, and personality the built-in Dock doesn't have.
Group your apps by context — Work, Creative, Personal, Gaming — and switch between them instantly. Each collection gets its own look and shortcuts, and they sync across your Macs with iCloud.
Choose from 13 hand-crafted palette backgrounds. Each collection can have its own theme, icon, and accent color. Make every context feel different.
Assign A-Z shortcuts to your apps. Press a key to launch, Shift to go fullscreen. One global hotkey summons your palette from anywhere.
Rearrange apps freely on the palette. Move them between collections by dragging. Hold Option to copy instead. Enable Snap to Grid for a tidy layout.
Scale your app icons from 0.5x to 2x. Make them big and bold or small and compact — whatever fits your workflow.
App Palette doesn't collect any data. Fully sandboxed and App Store approved — the only thing that leaves your Mac is your own collections, synced through your iCloud account.
Filter apps by name and press Return, launch favorites instantly with single-letter shortcuts, and keep a collection for every context — work, play, and everything in between.
