Extra docks for your Mac
Jetty is a Mac app that adds up to four extra docks to the edges of your screen, or floating anywhere, each with tabs of one-click tiles for apps, files, folders, websites and Shortcuts; it is a one-time purchase on the Mac App Store.
- Top, bottom, left, right or floating
- Tabs in every bar
- $9.99 one-time purchase. No subscription.
The Dock is one row. Add four more.
Keep the macOS Dock short, or hide it. Put the rest of your apps, folders and links in bars you place yourself.
Up to 4 bars, any edge
Pin a bar to the top, bottom, left or right edge, at the start, centre or end. The top edge works too, which the macOS Dock can't use.
Float it anywhere
Click the lock to unlock a bar and drag it where you want. Click it again and the bar snaps to the nearest edge.
Tabs in every bar
One bar, several sets: “Work”, “Dev”, “Personal”. Right-click a tab to rename or remove it.
More than apps
Tiles open apps, files, folders, websites and Shortcuts. A folder tile lists what's inside, one click to open.
Your icons, your layout
Use the app icon, any SF Symbol or an emoji. 1 to 6 rows or columns, three tile sizes, labels on or off, auto-hide per bar.
Drag to add
Drop apps, files and folders from Finder onto a bar, or use Add Tile. Drag tiles to reorder them.
Honest limits: bars appear on the main display only; no keyboard shortcut or hover reveal for bars; Jetty does not list open windows. All facts

FAQ
What does Jetty do?
Jetty adds up to 4 extra docks to your Mac: bars on the top, bottom, left or right edge of the screen, or floating. Each bar has tabs of tiles that open apps, files, folders, websites and Shortcuts with one click. A menu-bar item lists and manages your bars.
Does Jetty replace the macOS Dock?
No. Jetty adds bars next to the Dock and does not change the Dock itself. Many people keep a short Dock, or hide it with Option-Command-D, and put everything else in Jetty bars.
How much does Jetty cost?
$9.99 one-time purchase on the US Mac App Store (9,99 € in Germany). No subscription and no in-app purchases. Local App Store prices vary by country.
Which Macs does Jetty run on?
Any Mac running macOS 14 Sonoma or later. On macOS 26 Tahoe the bars use the Liquid Glass look.
Does Jetty work on several displays?
Jetty's bars appear on the main display only. If you need a dock on every screen, our comparison of dock apps lists apps whose pages state that.
Can I open a bar with a keyboard shortcut or by moving the pointer to the edge?
Not in the current version. Show and hide bars from Jetty's menu-bar item; the × on a bar hides it. A bar with auto-hide fades when the pointer leaves and comes back from the menu-bar item.
Is Jetty a good Launchpad replacement on macOS Tahoe?
For the apps you open every day, in my opinion as its developer, yes: they sit in tabs on a bar that is always on screen. Jetty shows the apps you add, not every installed app, so Apple's Apps view is still the place to browse everything.
Does Jetty collect any data?
No. Jetty has no account and no analytics, and keeps your bars in a file on your Mac. It is sandboxed and has no networking code.
