Dockmin – One click. Window gone.

How it works

Three steps to natural Dock behavior.

No configuration, no extra permissions, no browser plugin. Install, sign in, done.

Install

Download Dockmin and drag it into your Applications folder. On first launch it asks once for Accessibility permission. That's all.

Enable

One switch in the menu bar: “Dock click minimizes active window.” Flip it on. Done.

Click

Click the Dock icon of whichever app is currently in front — and its window disappears. Click again to bring it back.

One app. Two switches.

That's the entire user interface.

Dockmin lives in your menu bar. No main window, no dashboard, no onboarding marathon. You click the icon, you see two toggles. That's it.

✓
Dock click minimizes active window. The core feature, on/off.
✓
Launch at login. So you never have to think about it again.
✓
Quit. In case you ever don't want it. But you will.

Features

Small. Fast. Does nothing else.

A utility that solves exactly one problem — and then disappears.

Instant minimize

Responds to your click in under 16 ms. Native macOS animation, no stutter.

Barely any RAM

Less than 12 MB of memory. In Activity Monitor, Dockmin is the flat line at the bottom.

Private & local

No telemetry, no accounts, no network. Dockmin only talks to your Dock.

Two toggles, period

No settings tabs, no beta features, no pop-ups. You'll understand it in five seconds.

Frequently asked

Quick answers.

Why do I even need this? +

By default, clicking a Dock icon in macOS just brings the window to the front — it doesn't minimize. If you want to quickly get an app out of your way, you have to reach for a keyboard shortcut or aim for the yellow traffic-light dot. Dockmin turns the Dock click into a real toggle: front / gone.

What permissions are required? +

Only “Accessibility” — so Dockmin can react to your Dock click and minimize the active window. No network access, no disk access, nothing else.

Does it work with every app? +

Yes. Dockmin works at the system level and doesn't care which app is in front — Safari, Xcode, Photoshop, Terminal, anything.

How much does Dockmin cost? +

DockMin costs 4.99  — a small one‑time investment for a tool that saves you time every day and makes macOS noticeably smoother to use.

Does it run on older Macs? +

macOS 13 Ventura is the minimum. Both Apple Silicon (M1–M4) and Intel Macs are supported in a single Universal Binary.
