Ad-Free and subscription-free

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this version of UpDock.

Is UpDock Free usable on its own?

Yes. UpDock Free is meant to be genuinely useful, not just a demo. It gives you a practical way to use UpDock and decide whether UpDock+ or UpDockPro (coming soon) is worth it for your workflow.

What is the difference between UpDock Free, UpDock+ and UpDock Pro?

UpDock Free gets you started, and is useful, but limits the number of mini-docks, and items in each mini-dock. UpDock+ increases those limits allowing users to create up to 100 mini-docks and 50 mini-dock items, more than most users will ever need. UpDock Pro unlocks the full feature set, deeper customization, and the complete UpDock experience without sandbox limitations.

Can I upgrade later?

Yes. You can start with UpDock Free and begin to use it right away. UpDock Free does not expire. When you want the additional features you can upgrade to UpDock+ any time as an in-app purchase. Power users should consider UpDock Pro (coming soon).

Where do I download it?

UpDock Free is available right now at the Mac App store. UpDock+ upgrade is an in-app purchase. When available UpDock Pro will be downloaded from the UpDock web page.
