About:
HiDock is a macOS utility that automatically switches your Dock's position, size, and magnification settings based on the connected display configuration. It solves the problem of manually reconfiguring the Dock every time you connect or disconnect an external monitor. This tool ensures your workspace is optimized for either a single laptop screen or a multi-monitor setup without manual intervention.
Key Features:
  • Automatic profile switching based on display connection
  • Customizable Dock size, position, and magnification per profile
  • Supports multiple monitor configurations
  • Lightweight background operation
Use Cases:
  • Automatically moving the Dock to a secondary monitor when connected
  • Adjusting Dock size for different screen resolutions
  • Maintaining separate Dock configurations for desk vs. mobile work
Alternatives:
  • DockUtil – Command-line tool for managing Dock items, not automatic display-based switching
  • macOS Native Settings – Requires manual configuration each time display setup changes
