Six Icon Dock

Six Icon Dock: Customize Your macOS Dock

A free, open-source utility to extend the default macOS Dock limit of six icons, allowing up to 20 customizable icons for quick access to frequently used apps and folders.

What is Six Icon Dock?

Six Icon Dock is a free, open-source utility for macOS that allows users to add more than six icons to the Dock. The default macOS Dock is limited to displaying only six icons, but Six Icon Dock removes this limit so you can add up to 20 icons for faster access to frequently used applications and folders.

Developed by James Cockburn, Six Icon Dock is implemented as a lightweight background process that monitors changes to the Dock and makes modifications to enable extra icons. It works by tricking macOS into thinking the Dock can hold more icons than it actually can. No restart or login/logout is required after installing Six Icon Dock.

Some key features of Six Icon Dock include:

• Add up to 20 icons total to the macOS Dock instead of the usual limit of 6
• Resizes Dock icons automatically to fit more in the same amount of space
• Launches apps and folders from the Dock as you normally would
• Lightweight process with minimal CPU and memory usage
• Open-source and free to use with no ads or unwanted extras

Six Icon Dock is a useful way to simplify launching applications on a Mac for users who want quick access to more apps and folders than the Dock allows by default. It's customizable, lightweight, and respects the native macOS user experience while removing icon limits.
