DockShredder: Customize Your macOS Dock

Free, open-source program for macOS dock customization, resize icons, add spaces, hide labels, change background color and transparency.

What is DockShredder?

DockShredder is a free, open-source application for macOS that gives users extensive control over customizing the look, size, spacing, and behavior of their dock. Developed as an alternative to paid dock tools, DockShredder provides a graphical interface to tweak settings most other macOS dock mods lack.

With DockShredder, you can precisely set the size of your dock icons, add spacing between icons for a cleaner look, hide labels underneath icons, adjust icon alpha and background color/transparency, assign mouse actions to dock items, animate icons when launching apps, and more. It goes far beyond what you can do natively on macOS to tailor your dock.

The app offers real-time previews so you can test the visual changes as you make them. For those that want to back up and sync settings across multiple Macs, DockShredder has import/export functions via JSON configuration files. And if you ever need to revert back, DockShredder has one-click restore to defaults.

DockShredder is free, open source software licensed under GPLv3. It works on modern 64-bit Intel-based Macs running macOS 10.15 Catalina and newer. As an open source project actively developed on GitHub, DockShredder is continually improved and updated with new features and customization options.
