boringBar is a taskbar-style Dock replacement for macOS built for people who want better control over their windows.
The default macOS Dock is centered around apps, not windows. Once you start working with multiple desktops and multiple displays, it becomes harder to keep track of what is open and where. boringBar fixes that by showing the windows on your current desktop for each display, so you can switch faster and stay focused.
You can preview windows with thumbnails before switching, jump between desktops with one click, pin your most-used apps, launch apps from a searchable menu, and keep important updates visible with badges and attention indicators.
boringBar also supports scroll-to-switch desktops, optional full window titles on chips, grouped windows by app, and mirrored bars across multiple displays. If you want a cleaner setup, you can hide the Dock and use boringBar as your main workspace bar.
It is a simple upgrade for Mac users who want a more productive desktop, and an especially natural fit for people coming from Windows or Linux who miss a traditional taskbar.
Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
