Privacy

UpDock is designed to help you manage your workflow on your own Mac. This page explains, in plain language, what UpDock stores and how that information is used.

UpDock app icon

UpDock is built around local workflow management, not unnecessary data collection.

Mini-docks for every workflow

Create focused docks for projects, apps, files, folders, URLs, scripts, and everyday tasks.

What UpDock stores

UpDock stores the settings and workflow information needed to operate the app and your mini-docks.

App settings

UpDock stores configuration data such as your mini-docks, dock items, display preferences, and related settings so the app can restore and manage your workflow.

Imported and exported dock files

If you import or export dock files, those files are stored where the app is designed to place or access them, depending on the version of UpDock and the platform model involved.

Bookmarks and file references

When needed, UpDock may store file reference information so that files, folders, and related items can continue to work correctly within the app’s workflow model.

Diagnostics and AppleScript history

If you use AppleScript features or diagnostics, UpDock may store local command history or diagnostic information to help with troubleshooting and support.

What UpDock does not do

  • UpDock is not designed as an advertising platform
  • UpDock is not built around selling your workflow data
  • UpDock does not need unnecessary personal information to provide its core functionality

Local-first use

Much of UpDock’s functionality is centered around storing and managing your own workflow data locally on your Mac, including settings, mini-docks, and related configuration information.

Depending on the version you use, some behaviors may also reflect platform rules such as App Store sandboxing.

Version differences

UpDock Free, UpDock+, and UpDock Pro may differ in how they interact with files, imports, exports, and automation because of product tier and platform constraints.

UpDock Free

App Store distribution and sandbox rules apply, which may affect how the app accesses files and related resources.

UpDock+

Also distributed through the App Store and subject to sandbox rules, though with a broader feature set than UpDock Free.

UpDock Pro

Direct-download distribution may allow broader capabilities and fewer platform constraints than the App Store versions.
