Dockside 0.2.2 beta

Fixed

• Netflix and JioHotstar full screen: the picture-in-picture window and the dock no longer float on top of the video. Both fade out and ignore clicks until you leave full screen.
• Pages that open a blank pop-up no longer wipe the page you were on.

Added

• If a streaming site reports a playback error, the PiP window shows it with an Open in browser button.

Install: brew upgrade --cask dockside, or download the DMG below. Builds aren't notarized yet, so see the README for the one-time Open Anyway step.

Dockside 0.2.1 Beta

Dockside 0.2.1 — beta

🐞 Fixed

• Crash when a Netflix or JioHotstar video went full screen, or when resizing the picture-in-picture window while one was playing. Full screen now works — and when you exit, the video returns to the PiP window.
• Stopping a video that's full screen exits full screen first.

Everything else is the same as 0.2.0 — Watch with picture-in-picture, Countdown, drag to reorder, multi-display, Spanish and Hindi.

⬇️ Install or update

• Homebrew: brew upgrade --cask dockside (or brew install --cask shreyansa98/tap/dockside)
• DMG: download Dockside-0.2.1-beta.dmg below and replace the app in Applications — your settings stay.
• First launch only (beta, not notarized yet): System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ Open Anyway, or xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Dockside.app

Dockside 0.2.0 Beta

Dockside 0.2.0 — beta

📺 New: Watch, with picture-in-picture in the dock

Search YouTube right from the dock and watch it inside the dock bar — or pop it out to a floating window that stays over every app, Space and full-screen call. Netflix and JioHotstar play in the same player: sign in once, start a show, hit Fit video. If the dock hides mid-video, it pops out automatically.

✨ Also new

• Countdown widget — days until anything, with quick presets
• Drag to reorder widgets right on the dock
• Multiple displays — Settings ▸ Appearance ▸ Display ▸ Follow the pointer
• Español and हिन्दी — the app follows your macOS language

🐞 Fixed

• Scrolling a dock that's wider than the screen: trackpad swipes now scroll sideways and reach both ends.

⬇️ Install

1. Download Dockside-0.2.0-beta.dmg below and drag Dockside into Applications. Updating? Replace the old app — your settings stay.
2. First launch only: this beta isn't notarized yet. Open Dockside once, click Done, then System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ Open Anyway. Or: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Dockside.app
