About
SwiftStrip is a native macOS app that lets you create floating, tabbed docks to organize the apps, files, and folders you use most. You can group items into tabs within each dock, switch between them with keyboard shortcuts or a single click, and color-code tabs for visual clarity. Drag and drop items straight from Finder, and choose between grid or flow layouts in horizontal or vertical orientations.
Beyond organization, SwiftStrip offers a Process Dock that shows every running app, a Multi-Monitor Support feature that remembers where each dock belongs, and Import & Export for backing up or sharing your setup. Spring-loaded folders let you browse nested contents in a cascading menu, and watch folders keep a tab updated as files change. Docks can auto-hide, customize their colors, opacity, icon sizes, and labels, and snap to screen edges.
SwiftStrip is built with SwiftUI and AppKit, is designed to be lightweight, and is free to start. The app offers a 30-day free trial with all features unlocked, after which core features remain free forever, and Pro features are available through a monthly or yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime license.
What's new
All release notes- Menu bar icon: SwiftStrip now has an icon in the menu bar. It lists all your docks with their tabs and preferences, and gives you New Dock, Preferences and Quit. - Hide the Dock icon: you can now run SwiftStrip from the menu bar only, without an icon in the macOS Dock. - New "App Icon" section in Preferences with "Show in Dock" and "Show in Menu Bar". Both are on by default, and SwiftStrip always stays in at least one of the two. - Icon reflections: a new "Icon reflections" option in Dock Preferences shows a mirrored, fading reflection under every icon. Set per dock, off by default. Labels below the icons sit on top of the reflection, so docks stay compact. - Labels on hover: a new "Only show labels on mouse hover" option in Dock Preferences hides item labels until the pointer is over an item. Set per dock, off by default. - Deeper folder menus: folder popup menus now go up to 20 levels deep instead of 5, including folders on network shares. - Fixed: browsing folder menus slowly used more memory over time. Memory is now released each time a folder menu closes. - Fixed: with labels switched off, Dock Preferences still showed the label font and font size settings. They are now hidden together with the spacing slider.
