About:
DockX is a macOS utility that allows users to display dynamic content, such as text, images, and system stats, directly in the Dock and the menu bar. It acts as a highly customizable information ticker, enabling real-time monitoring of app status, system metrics, or custom notifications without occupying screen space. The tool is designed for users who want to keep specific information visible at all times in a minimalist interface.
Key Features:
  • Live text and image display in Dock and menu bar
  • Support for dynamic data sources and system variables
  • Highly customizable appearance and update intervals
  • Lightweight background operation
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring system resource usage (CPU/RAM) in real-time
  • Displaying live stock prices or crypto values
  • Showing status updates from automation scripts
Alternatives:
  • BitBar – BitBar places output from scripts in the menu bar, whereas DockX focuses on both the Dock and menu bar with a more visual, ticker-style approach.
  • Stats – Stats provides detailed system monitoring in the menu bar, while DockX offers more flexibility for custom text and visual content.
