Where it sits in the data
DockFlow's $1.4K in the last 30 days is higher than 79% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Dev Tools” category (717 projects) it is higher than 81% (category median $100). Snapshot: 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.
Currency
All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.
Could you build something like this?
My view is that demand comes from Mac users who move between coding, design, work, and personal workflows and want their Dock to match each task. Distribution would need to reach those users through Mac-focused communities, productivity content, app directories, and direct outreach.
The difficult parts are macOS permissions, reliable system-level changes, shortcut handling, Apple Shortcuts integration, and ongoing support across system updates. Competition would come from other Dock customization and productivity tools, so differentiation would matter.
Verdict: Needs real work.
One thing to take from it
The clearest idea to take is to package a repeated desktop action into saved presets with one-click switching and keyboard shortcuts. Apple Shortcuts integration, Homebrew installation, and workflow-specific content give a small utility several practical ways to reach users.
