Install and activate

  1. 1

    Download and open the file

    Open SideDock.dmg from your Downloads folder, then drag SideDock onto the Applications folder.

  2. 2

    Open SideDock the first time

    Open it from Applications. During early access, macOS may say it can’t check SideDock for malicious software. Open System Settings › Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway next to SideDock, then enter your Mac’s password. You only do this once.

  3. 3

    Try it, then paste your license key

    The first 7 days are free, with every feature on. To keep going, buy a license and paste your key in the activation window. Copy it from your receipt email and paste it in. Each key works on as many Macs as your plan: 1, 3 or 5.

  4. 4

    Allow what you use

    macOS asks before SideDock can use Accessibility, Calendars or other permissions. Each one is explained when it’s needed; the Privacy Policy lists them all.
