What DockLoom is
A Mac Apps Launcher that goes beyond apps.
DockLoom is a native macOS menu bar launcher built for people who want a personal shortcut surface instead of a fixed app catalog. Use it as a customizable alternative to a traditional Mac Apps Launcher or Launchpad-style workflow, then add the documents and folders that belong beside those apps.
Open DockLoom from the menu bar, launch a shortcut, and get back to what you were doing. The borderless grid can grow with your collection, shrink to stay out of the way, and keep every shortcut exactly where you placed it.

Frequently asked questions
DockLoom, in plain terms.
What is DockLoom?
DockLoom is a native macOS menu bar launcher for apps, files, folders, command scripts, and local HTML files. It presents your shortcuts in a customizable, resizable grid.
Can DockLoom replace a Mac Apps Launcher or Launchpad-style workflow?
Yes. DockLoom is designed to serve as a customizable Mac Apps Launcher alternative. It gives you direct control over grid size, shortcut position, labels, icons, and colors—and it can launch more than apps.
What can I add to DockLoom?
You can add existing local Mac apps, regular files, folders, .command scripts, and .html files by dragging them from Finder into an empty slot.
Does customizing a shortcut rename or modify the original file?
No. Aliases, icons, colors, positions, and other shortcut settings belong only to DockLoom. The app does not rename, move, rewrite, or delete the original target.

No. DockLoom stores its shortcut references and preferences locally on your Mac. It has no account system, cloud sync, advertising, analytics, or tracking, and it does not upload the contents of your shortcut targets.
