Five scenes. One click.

Each sets the wallpaper and tints the dock to match. Pier remembers your own wallpaper for when you want it back.

Yours in a minute.

Glass and tint, size and magnification, which edge, what sits where. Save it as a profile and open it on your other Mac. Your keys never go in the file.

  1. 1

    Open Pier. It copies your apps from Apple's Dock, in your order.

  2. 2

    Apple's Dock steps aside, its settings saved so quitting Pier puts them back.

  3. 3

    Press ⌃⌥D anywhere to bring it up, even over full screen apps.

Good questions.

Does Pier replace the macOS Dock?

macOS can’t remove its Dock, because the same process runs Mission Control and Cmd-Tab. While Pier runs, Apple’s Dock is set to hide and never rise, and quitting Pier puts its settings back exactly.

Which Macs does it run on?

Macs with macOS 13 Ventura or later.

What permissions does it need?

Accessibility, to list and raise windows. Screen Recording for the pictures in window previews; without it they show titles only. Some widgets ask for Calendar or Reminders when you add them.

What happens after my year of updates?

Pier keeps working, and every release from that year is yours to keep. Pier Forever includes every update after it too.

Do widgets send my data anywhere?

Each widget can only reach the service it shows, such as Stripe for the Stripe widget. Keys stay in your Keychain, and Pier has no analytics.

Can I use it on more than one Mac?

Pier covers up to 3 Macs and Pier Forever up to 5. Save a profile to bring your setup across.
