Up and running in a minute

Install

Open the Mac App Store page and click Get. DragDock appears in Launchpad and Applications.

Launch

A small icon appears in the menu bar. DragDock has no Dock icon and no window until you ask for one.

Drag a file

Drag any file toward the top of the screen. The grid opens. Drop it on Zip Files to try.

Good to know

System requirements

A Mac running macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Liquid Glass design appears on macOS 26.

Folder access

The App Store edition runs in Apple's sandbox, so macOS may ask you to allow access to a folder before an action can save there.

Permissions

A Welcome window offers three optional permissions: notifications, Input Monitoring and Accessibility. DragDock works without them; they unlock service keys during a drag, alerts and typing the date.

Updates

The App Store delivers updates automatically. There is nothing to configure.

What is not included

The sandbox rules out the command-line tool.

How do I open DragDock after installing?

Start it from Launchpad or Applications. Turn on Launch at login in Preferences to have it ready after every restart.

I do not see the menu-bar icon

The menu bar can be crowded on small displays or when a notch is in the way. Quit a few menu-bar apps, or hold ⌘ and drag icons to make room.

How do I uninstall it?

Quit DragDock from the menu-bar icon, then drag it from Applications to the Trash. Settings live in Application Support and can be deleted too.
