What it does
Do you want to set the Dock a bit bigger when connected to your big monitor? Or hide the dock only when you're on your laptop? Or maybe move the Dock to the Left when you have multiple displays connected? Me too
Custom Dock settings for different displays
HiDock is an app that lets you set different Dock settings for different display configurations. I've built this because I wanted to have the Dock slightly bigger and always visible when I'm on my big external display, but smaller and hidden when on my laptop. A way to have the Dock visible in multiple monitors at the same time. Unfortunately macOS doesn't let us do this at the moment. You WANT to pay for it? I didn't really build any payment capability for the app, but if you'd like you can download my other app — Hand Mirror , that would make me really happy! Except of course the Apple logo and wallpapers, that's property of Apple,from hidock.app

macOS dock pissed me off and I extended it2025 · extradock.app · ▲18Hey HN! So the other day macOS dock system pissed me off, completely. I’m someone who runs 2 or 3 monitors daily: one for coding, one for chat apps, and one for design tools. But macOS only gives you a single Dock, which either stays on your main screen or auto-swaps wherever your mouse is. Complete hell. I just wanted an easy way to keep a “chat dock” on my side monitor, a “development dock” on my center monitor, and maybe another “utilities dock” somewhere else—without messing with some complex, heavy, bloated dock replacement. So I made one. And got feedback from my friends that it's…
RaybeamMay 2026 · raybeam.live · ▲209Problem A few years ago I got my first ultra-wide monitor. It was a 49" Samsung monitor. I work as a software engineer, and in my line of work I need to screen share a lot. This almost immediately became a problem due to the size of the monitor. I would either need to get a second display just for screen sharing, share one window at a time (which required me to constantly stop/start sharing to select the new window), or share my entire screen making it difficult for other participants in the call to see what I'm doing due to the size of my display. I wanted a solution to this. At the…

This works suprisingly well. Just give it instructions like "make it winter" or "remove the cars" and the photo is altered. Here are some examples of transformations it can make: Golden gate bridge: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brycedrennan/imaginAIry/ma...

The project is called QueryStorm. It uses Roslyn to offer C# (and VB.NET) support in Excel, as an alternative to VBA. I've posted about it before, but a lot has changed since then so figured I'd share an update. The current version includes a host of new features, namely a C# debugger, support for NuGet packages, and the ability to publish Excel extensions to an "AppStore" (which is essentially a NuGet repository). The AppStore can be used by anyone with the (free) runtime component. Another great addition is the community license, which is a free license for individuals and small companies…

Hey HN! Some more info: I’m an NHS doctor and the founder of Pi-A (https://www.pi-a.io) which developed Lungy (https://www.lungy.app). Lungy is an app (iOS only for now) that responds to breathing in real-time and was designed to make breathing exercises more engaging and beneficial to do. It hopefully has many aspects of interest to the HN community – real-time fluid, cloth and soft body sims running on the phone’s GPU. My background is as a junior surgical trainee and I started building Lungy in 2020 during the first COVID lockdown in London. During COVID, there were…
