I’ve been using IntelliDock for a while and really like the concept, but it feels a bit inconsistent in practice.
What I’m looking for is a lightweight Mac app that:
- Automatically hides the native macOS Dock only when a window moves behind or overlaps it
- Doesn’t randomly hide when it’s not needed
- Reliably hides when a window is maximized or filling the screen
- Lets me use the full screen real estate without losing the menu bar (so not true fullscreen mode)
Basically, I want the Dock to behave more contextually—stay visible when it’s useful, disappear when it’s in the way.
IntelliDock kind of does this, but:
- Sometimes it hides unnecessarily
- Sometimes it doesn’t hide when it should
- Overall feels a bit unreliable on newer macOS versions
Would anyone here be interested in developing an updated, more consistent alternative? Or does something like this already exist that I’ve missed?
Curious if others want this too.
