Your Mac Dock, with live widgets for the apps you use
Ganella replaces the macOS Dock with a native one where the apps you choose become live widgets: Spotify and Music controls, your calendar, open browser tabs, Xcode builds, terminals and AI agents like Claude, Codex and ChatGPT. Plus clipboard history, app folders, a position per display and four styles including Liquid Glass. 7-day free trial, no signup. $9.99 once.
I spend most of my day on a Mac, and at some point I noticed how often I was switching apps just to check something small. What song is this? When's my next call? Did the build finish? Is Claude waiting on me again? The Dock was right there the whole time, only showing icons.
So I built Ganella. It's a Dock for macOS where you can turn some apps into small live widgets. Spotify shows what's playing and lets you skip. Calendar shows your next meeting. Safari and Chrome let you search your open tabs. Xcode builds with one click. Claude, Codex and ChatGPT let you know when they need you. The apps you don't change stay as normal icons, so it still feels like the Dock you know.
There's also clipboard history, app folders, a separate position for each display, and a few styles, including Liquid Glass if you're on macOS 26.
It's written in Swift, and I spent a lot of time making sure it stays light. It sits on your screen all day, so it shouldn't eat your battery.
You can try it free for 7 days, no account needed. After that it's a one-time purchase for 2 Macs. If you buy this week, the code HUNT20 gives you 20% off.
I made this on my own, so any feedback really helps. And if there's an app you'd love to see as a widget, tell me. That's probably what I'll build next 🙂

Hi everyone, I'm Antoniel.
