Your Dock's wasted side space, now full of widgets

If you don't hide your Dock, you've probably got wasted space sitting on either side of it. Docktor fills it with widgets you actually glance at: music, calendar, weather, system stats and more coming soon. No extra menu-bar icon fighting for room. No separate window to open. Just the stuff you check constantly, parked in space your Mac was already wasting. It also adds hover previews to your Dock — mouse over an app and see its open windows without clicking.

honestly love the hover preview idea, that alone makes it worth a try. one thing though — would be great if the widgets could be resized or reordered, because depending on my screen setup the music player ends up way bigger than the weather and it looks unbalanced. small QoL thing but makes it feel more like my setup

Really like the hover previews for Dock apps. Windows has had that forever and every time I switch back to my Mac I miss it. Pairing it with widgets in the dead space around the Dock is a clever combo, feels like two small annoyances solved in one app. Congrats on the launch!
Nice use of space nobody thinks about. What I'd want to know is what happens when the Dock grows, because it recentres every time an app opens and the side space shrinks with it, so the widgets either reflow or get clipped mid-glance. Same question when the Dock jumps to a second display.

Excited to see docktor live. Your Dock's wasted side space, now full of widgets is a compelling value proposition—best of luck today! 🚀
