What's Changed

• Keep badges on the dock when the equal width doesn't fit by @soaresnro in #6

Full Changelog: v1.0.2...v1.0.3

Kosmodock 1.0.2

What's new

• The dock keeps its width. It used to grow and shrink a little whenever a reading gained or lost a digit (9% CPU → 12% CPU), because every capsule matches the widest one. Badges now reserve room for their widest reading. (#5)
• The default "Battery" widget follows the interface language, including configs that saved it as "Bateria" or "Batería". Labels you typed yourself are left as they are. (#5)
• Install or update from the terminal with a script that checks the checksum and the signing certificate before installing (#4). See below.

Updating from 1.0.1 keeps your Accessibility permission. From 1.0.0, grant it once more.

Full Changelog: v1.0.1...v1.0.2

Kosmodock 1.0.1

Releases are now signed with a fixed Kosmodock release certificate, so macOS keeps the Accessibility permission when you update. No app changes since 1.0.0.

Updating from 1.0.0? 1.0.0 was signed ad-hoc, so grant Accessibility one more time after this update: if the switch for Kosmodock looks on but Kosmodock still asks, remove it from System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility (or run tccutil reset Accessibility dev.kosmodock.Kosmodock) and open Kosmodock again. From now on, updates keep the permission.

What's Changed

Full Changelog: v1.0.0...v1.0.1

Kosmodock 1.0.0

The first public release of Kosmodock: a macOS Dock replacement where app groups are live widgets.

Highlights

• Live widget capsules. Each group shows its apps plus live telemetry: CPU/RAM for the whole group, the Podman machine and containers (start, stop and restart them from the dock), listening ports, or the output of your own shell command.
• Launch & Tile. One click launches a group and tiles its windows (50/50 · 70/30 · 75/25 · Grid · Max). Focus mode hides every other app.
• Windows stay above the dock. An Accessibility observer moves or shrinks any window that reaches into the dock's band. Turn it off to get Intellihide instead.
• Minimize into groups. Minimized windows fly into their group's capsule, and the group's popover lists them for one-click restore.
• Hide the native Dock, safely. Your original Dock settings come back when Kosmodock quits, crashes or is force quit.
• Bento popover or inline accordion, a dock that adapts to screen width, and a Settings window. Settings live in ~/.config/kosmodock/config.json and reload when you edit the file.
• English, Português (Brasil) and Español (España), switchable without restarting.
• No network access: no analytics, no update checks, no telemetry. See Privacy.

Requires macOS 14+ on Apple Silicon. Accessibility is the only permission it needs.

Install

Download Kosmodock-1.0.0.dmg, open it and drag Kosmodock to Applications. On first launch, grant Accessibility when macOS asks.

Warning

This build is not notarized. macOS blocks it the first time you open it: go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway, or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Kosmodock.app.
