Original Summary

I always hated desktop widgets because I never see them. They sit behind every window I have open. Same problem with Notification Center, it&#x27;s hidden away so I never use it.<p>The dock, however, is always there, it&#x27;s already taking the real estate from the bottom of my screen, so why not add a second dock on the exact same real estate, that shows up as soon as the dock hides and vice versa, but not for apps - for widgets!<p>CoolDock is that solution with 20+ widget categories - music, weather, AI usage, 3rd party integrations, mail, todo, habit tracker, posture reminder, water reminder and over 150 wallpapers to switch to based on my mood.<p>And the best part is that it looks completely native with Liquid Glass, doesn&#x27;t require disabling the macOS default dock and runs completely local, no telemetry, no account, only widgets and your integrations. Oh and best part #2 - I added an MCP server so I don&#x27;t actually have to clickops my way to complete setup, I could just ask my AI to add a widget and configure it however I want it (MCP starts as read-only, you can choose to give it permission to actually change things).<p>I actually acquired CoolDock from its original developer, and it&#x27;s the second dock app I acquired from a developer (ExtraDock was the first). CoolDock currently has passed 1,200 users<p>I am constantly adding new widgets based on user requests, currently at 160+ widgets to choose from, you can see them on the website <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cooldock.app" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cooldock.app</a><p>Happy to answer any question!
