DockFlow – Dock presets for instant workflow switching on macOS

Hacker News

80 days ago I launched DockFlow and got amazing feedback from the HN community. Since then, I've been building based on your suggestions and just shipped a major update. What's new since my last post: - App Actions - Auto-launch apps AND open specific projects in your IDE when switching presets. Switch to "React Project" preset → opens VS Code / Cursor with that exact project + Terminal + browser, all in one click - Enhanced Shortcuts integration for advanced automation workflows - More granular CLI tools for power users - Improved performance and stability based on user feedback Core DockFlow features: - Save and instantly switch between multiple Dock configurations - Assign custom hotkeys to change layouts - Add apps, folders, files, or website links to your Dock - Insert visual spacers to organize your workspace - Lightweight and macOS-native (no permissions needed) - Supports macOS 13.5+ Real workflow example: My "Development" preset loads Cursor with my current project, opens Terminal in the right directory, launches Figma for designs, and adds project folders to the Dock—all automatically when I switch contexts. No subscriptions. One-time €9.99 for lifetime access. Try it: https://dockflow.appitstudio.com/ Would love to hear what other App Actions would be useful for your workflows!
