Questions.
Does this support Windows or Linux?
No. QDock currently targets macOS 14+ only.
What if npx install fails?
Use the DMG download above, or check GitHub Releases directly for the latest artifact.
macOS blocked QDock on first launch. What should I do?
This can happen after manual DMG install. Run
xattr -cr /Applications/QDock.app in Terminal, then right-click
QDock.app and choose Open once. If installed under
~/Applications, update the path in the command.
Is QDock open source?
Yes. Source code, issues, and contribution flow are available on GitHub.
