Dock or taskbar.
Your call.
The Dock was great when it was released in 2001. Today, you need more power. uBar can be configured as a dock or a taskbar — whichever fits the way you work.
Dock mode
Familiar, minimal, beautiful.
Taskbar mode
Every window, one click away.
Every monitor.
Its own bar.
Only uBar lets you take full advantage of a multi-monitor setup. Each screen gets its own bar showing only its apps and windows — or flip on Mirror mode and see the same bar everywhere.
Everything at a glance.
