Dock Mate

Dock Mate adds mouse‑over window previews to the macOS Dock, allowing users to see all running windows of an application by hovering over its icon. Clicking a preview brings that window into focus, and additional actions such as focus, minimize, maximize, close, and opening new windows can be performed directly from the preview or the Dock tile. The layout and size of the previews are configurable to suit individual preferences.

The utility also provides specialized quick‑look views for Calendar‑related Fantastical apps, showing upcoming events and offering one‑click joining for supported services such as Zoom and Google Meet. For music and podcast applications—including iTunes, Music, Podcasts, and Spotify—it displays current track information and basic playback controls like play/pause and skip.

Dock Mate runs as a lightweight menubar process on macOS 10.14 and later, including Apple Silicon, with minimal impact on battery life. It offers a free week trial and can be purchased for continued use.
