Dockside

brew install --cask dockside v2.9.12

Native file shelf and staging area that sits beside the macOS Dock for quick file, folder, and link access.

Why you might care

Dockside acts as a temporary holding area for files and folders you're actively working with, reducing clutter in your Dock while keeping frequently-accessed items within reach. It's lightweight, offline-first, and notarized by Apple. At $5.99 for a lifetime license, it's a low-cost productivity boost for file-heavy workflows.
