Show HN: DockFlow – Dock presets for instant workflow switching on macOS

80 days ago I launched DockFlow and got amazing feedback from the HN community. Since then, I've been building based on your suggestions and just shipped a major update.

What's new since my last post:

- App Actions - Auto-launch apps AND open specific projects in your IDE when switching presets. Switch to "React Project" preset → opens VS Code / Cursor with that exact project + Terminal + browser, all in one click

- Enhanced Shortcuts integration for advanced automation workflows

- More granular CLI tools for power users

- Improved performance and stability based on user feedback

Core DockFlow features:

- Save and instantly switch between multiple Dock configurations

- Assign custom hotkeys to change layouts

- Add apps, folders, files, or website links to your Dock

- Insert visual spacers to organize your workspace

- Lightweight and macOS-native (no permissions needed)

- Supports macOS 13.5+

Real workflow example: My "Development" preset loads Cursor with my current project, opens Terminal in the right directory, launches Figma for designs, and adds project folders to the Dock—all automatically when I switch contexts.

No subscriptions. One-time €9.99 for lifetime access.

Would love to hear what other App Actions would be useful for your workflows!
