Softonic review

Use multiple docks at the same time

I've installed so many applications on my Mac that the Dock is looking more than a bit overcrowded. It's got to the stage where I'm going to have to remove some, or get a bigger screen.

Or, I could install SwitchDock. SwitchDock lets you have your cake and eat it by allowing you to install multiple instances of the Dock. To access SwitchDock's application dock menu, Ctrl-click or click and hold the application icon in the dock. This allows you to choose from a handful of options, such as to create a new dock, quick launch certain applications, or remove a dock.

If you select to create a new dock, you'll be asked to give it a name. This is ideal for those who want to separate work applications from leisure applications, for example. You can then select certain applications that you want to quick launch and edit dock applications to your liking.

There's no complicated interface to master and SwitchDock is very lightweight, although it does seem prone to instability from time to time, especially when switching docks. Note also that there it is no support for Tiger.

SwitchDock is a lightweight and simple application for all those that find one dock simply isn't enough.

Changes

Quick launch menu now launches folders and URLs in the dock.

  • Pros

    • Lightweight and easy to access

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
