Which Mac do I need?

Dockline supports Macs with Apple silicon and Intel processors running macOS 26.5 or later.

How do I install Dockline?

Download and open the DMG, then drag Dockline.app to Applications. Open Dockline and follow the setup steps.

What permissions does it need?

Accessibility is needed to manage windows. Screen Recording is used for window previews. Track position needs separate Automation permission for each player. The preview and media features can stay off.

Do I have to buy when Trial ends?

No. Trial does not turn into a subscription or a charge. To continue using Dockline after Trial, buy a year of access. Each later year is a separate purchase.

How is the Trial discount calculated?

The discount is the number of remaining Trial days rounded up, capped at 20%. For example: 20 or more days means 20%, 10 days means 10%, and the final partial day means 1%. There is no Trial discount after expiry or while paid access is active. The app shows your current eligible offer.

Where do I manage my Macs and purchase?

Your purchase account shows paid periods and registered Macs. One purchase allows up to two active Macs. Buy another year before expiry to add it after your current paid term.
