Much faster and to our mind far more convenient is the quick access to each individual part of System Preferences.

You can, though, tap a letter when you're scrolling and it will leap to the apps beginning with that. This makes uBar's list of them take an age to scroll down. Your mileage will vary there, with any luck, because as well as a lot of Dock items we do rather hoard apps.

Fast and simple way to download free software for Mac OS X. Volume licensing information and review copies are available upon request. Current uBar 2 users can purchase version 3.0 for $10 USD. UBar 3.0 is only $20 USD (or an equivalent amount in other currencies) and is available worldwide exclusively through the Brawer Software website. It's got quick access to your documents, music and more. The uBar icon displays a popup menu with options for system sleep or shut down. When you press that key, you are also transported to Windows-land but with a bit of class and style. It's a little uBar icon that by default sits at the very left of your screen and can be configured to spring up into life with a single keystroke. Whereas the other extra item uBar adds is very much worth buying the whole app for. We might not buy uBar for it, but when you've got it, you like it. You can't use the calendar for anything other than checking the date -it doesn't show appointments -but it's nicely designed and it does its job. If you hover over that clock, though, the concise digital display springs up into an analog watch face plus a calendar. One is a handy thing to have: it's a clock that sits at one end of the Dock and looks a little reminiscent of the one in the Windows taskbar. That's half the space for the items we already have and yet uBar also adds two more. Then at the top there is uBar when it's only showing app icons. In the middle is uBar showing names alongside every app. Compare and contrast.Īt the bottom is our regular macOS Dock. By comparison, uBar gives us at least all the same functionality but does so in just under half the space.

Our 48 items stretch across the full width of our 27-inch iMac screen. Or rather it is when you replace your regular Dock with uBar 4.

That brings us down to 48 items in the Dock and that's far more sensible. That document can go and it might as well be followed by iBooks as we always read those on our iPad. Truly, looking at it for you now, we can see instantly where we should cut back.

The FileMaker Pro app is of course in our Dock. For instance, it's a mystery why we have that FileMaker Pro document when every single day we forget it's there and instead open the FileMaker app. Often, down the road, we've forgotten the reason. However, everything else is an app we have chosen to add there. It also includes one document, a FileMaker Pro database that we use daily.

That does include the Trash, the Finder, Siri and the App Store. Currently our regular macOS Dock holds 50 items. Yet tidying up is foolish talk and especially so when instead you can use to remove or at least postpone having to do anything. Of course there is always the option to remove applications from it and, true, there are apps in our Dock that we haven't opened in months. We were only saying the other day that our Docks are getting a bit full.
