Everything MoveDock does
Every piece below is alive: click, drag, switch. It works the same way in the app. The “Watch in the app” button opens the real clips.
Dock and island
A dock instead of the taskbar: apps, window thumbnails on hover, a left card with the clock, microphone and language, and the shelf on the right. Up top, a bar with an island that shows what’s happening right now.
Floating or unified
Three islands, or a familiar full-width bar like the Windows taskbar, but with MoveDock’s motion. Light or dark theme.
Click an app: in the unified style the highlight moves to it.
Discord in the dock
You can see you’re in a voice channel and whether your mic is muted — with no setup at all. MoveDock reads it from Discord’s tray icon: no sign-in, nothing injected into Discord.
Discord is just open — the icon looks normal.
Start in two styles
A compact window with pinned apps, recent files, system and notifications. Or My Day across the whole screen: tasks, music, focus, weather and files.

Motion and speed
Radial menu: hold Ctrl + Shift and move the mouse towards an app. Let go, and it’s open. Tiles fly out from the centre, and your pick flashes briefly.
Hover here, hold Ctrl + Shift and move the mouse. Or just press and hold.Press and hold, then slide your finger to an app
Custom file dragging
Instead of Windows’ grey ghost image, a living stack of cards: it softly follows the cursor and shows where the file will land.
Your files
Files
Drag a file and press Shift, and a ring of actions appears under the cursor. Drop it on a format (PNG, JPG, WEBP, PDF, Word), an action (crop, compress, extract text, ZIP) or a favourite folder. The result lands as a copy next to it.
Move around the ring and click. Alt or “Actions” opens the second page.
Shelf: drop in files from different places, then drag them all where they belong. Compact, like Dropover.
Screenshots
A toolbar made of “islands”, any colour and smooth thickness, text with a pill or an outline, arrows, frames, blur. And an “instant” mode, like ShareX.
Notes — MoveDock project
How to make the desktop easier
The dock keeps apps, weather, music and files at hand.
The island up top shows what’s happening: track, timer, downloads.
The file wheel converts formats in one move, with no extra windows.
A screenshot can be labelled, circled or highlighted right away.
The marker finds the text and lays down straight along the line.
The marker sticks to text: it finds the lines in the shot by itself.
Windows customisation
The context menu in three styles: as in Windows, enhanced and MoveDock ✦ — with a row of quick actions on top and a short list. A transparent File Explorer with blur, acrylic or Mica, transparency for other windows, and Explorer settings.
The standard Windows menu: unchanged, nothing to adjust.Like Windows, but smoother and with icons.Quick actions in a row on top, a short list, the rest under “More”. Row submenus open above the menu.
Right-click the desktop or a file.Tap the desktop or a file.
Focus sessions
A separate Focus window: work / break cycles on a plan, or a free count of up to 12 hours. You see when the whole plan will end, and the island shows how much is left.
On the site time runs 60× faster: a second is a minute of the session.
No cycles or breaks: time just counts until you stop. For renders, editing, long stretches of work. Up to 12 hours.
Not just a timer — MoveDock sees where your attention really went, and shows it honestly.
You pick your main and supporting apps, and MoveDock counts every second: in focus, supporting, off focus, and when you stepped away. Short detours are forgiven. It only sees app names — no window titles, no content.
- In focus1 h 18 min
- Supporting21 min
- Off focus9 min
- Away4 min
Planner
A separate big window: today, tasks, week and month, habits, goals, projects, block-based notes, finance, nutrition, reminders and search. Reminders show up in the island.
