## About The Project

**DockDoor** brings window previews to the macOS Dock, the way Windows and Linux have had them for years. Hover an app in the Dock to see all of its open windows as live thumbnails, then click one to switch to it, or close, minimize and quit it right from the preview.

It doesn't replace the Dock. DockDoor is a small native app that runs from the menu bar and adds to the Dock that ships with macOS, in Liquid Glass on macOS 26 and later.

See it in motion at **[dockdoor.net](https://dockdoor.net)**.
