Live window previews, Alt+Tab switching and keyboard controls for the macOS Dock
DockDoor brings window previews to the macOS Dock. Hover an app in the Dock to see all of its open windows as live thumbnails, then click one to switch to it, or close, minimize and quit it right from the preview.
It does not replace the Dock. It is a small native app that runs from the menu bar and adds to the Dock that ships with macOS. The project says nothing leaves your Mac, with no analytics, usage tracking or crash reporters.
