This is an unofficial fork of Mortennn/Dozer maintained to keep the app working on Apple Silicon Macs. The original project is unmaintained and its x86-only binaries require Rosetta 2, which Apple is removing.

What's different in this fork

  • Universal binary — runs natively on Apple Silicon (arm64) and Intel (x86_64)
  • No Rosetta required — works on macOS without Rosetta 2 installed
  • Upgraded Sparkle 1.x → Sparkle 2.x for auto-update
  • Replaced unmaintained MASShortcut → KeyboardShortcuts
  • Requires macOS 12 Monterey or later (up from 10.13)

⚙️ Install

Download the latest release, unzip, and drag Dozer.app to your Applications folder.

First-launch note: Releases are unsigned (no Apple Developer certificate). On first launch, right-click the app and choose Open, or run:

xattr -cr /Applications/Dozer.app

⚫️ Dozer Icons

There are 2 or 3, numbered from right to left:

  1. this can be positioned anywhere you prefer, it is only a point of interaction
  2. this and everything to its left will be hidden/shown by clicking any Dozer icon
  3. (Optional) the "remove" icon and everything to its left will be hidden/shown by option-clicking any Dozer icon

👨‍💻 Usage

  • Move the icons you want to hide until clicked to the left of the second Dozer icon
  • Move the icons you want to hide until option-clicked to the left of the third Dozer icon
