Mac apps that fix one thing properly

2 Mac apps from a one-person studio: Adaptive Dock, auto-organize your Mac Dock; BackThen, version history for any Mac folder.

“Your Dock was set up for the way you worked a year ago.”

Adaptive Dock reorganizes your Mac's Dock around the apps you actually use. The apps you use most move up front, the ones you've stopped using step aside, and every change can be undone in one click.

  • Promotes what you use
  • Profiles for every mode
  • Switch from the menu bar
