02 / THE DETAILS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
01

Find your flow.

Pin apps, files, folders, and links. Organize them into expandable groups or connect a folder that stays in sync with its contents.

02

Every screen, considered.

Place independent or mirrored bars across monitors. Dock to an edge, float freely, or let auto-hide give your work more space.

03

A familiar feeling.

Choose System, Windows 10, Windows 11, or the nostalgic XP Luna look. Tune each bar to the way you work.

03 / UP AND RUNNING

04 / GOOD TO KNOW

A few answers.

Something else on your mind?

Open an issue
Is this a stable release?+

Not yet. DockForge is a development build. Some shell integrations and hardware configurations still need verification. Read the repository verification notes before relying on them.

Does it replace the Windows taskbar?+

It adds configurable bars and can manage Windows taskbar visibility. Explicit restore controls and a recovery helper are included.

Is the installer signed?+

The current development installer is unsigned. Windows may show an unknown-publisher notice. Check the release notes and published checksum.
