Workspaces and workflows

Make a workspace

In the DockRun window choose Workspaces > New. Add apps, folders, files and links, or open your things first and use Save Setup to capture them, including Finder folders and browser tabs.

For each app you can choose where its window goes: halves, corners, the full screen or centred. Arranging windows needs Accessibility permission; if it is missing, the apps still open and the launch report says why.

Launch and close

Launch opens every item that is switched on. Close quits the workspace's running apps after asking and listing them; apps with unsaved work ask as with Command-Q, and Finder and DockRun are never quit.

Build a workflow

Workflows > New Workflow offers ready-made templates, from Start my day to Tidy Downloads. A step can open an app, folder or link, launch or close a workspace, run a script (zsh, bash, AppleScript, Python, Node, Ruby or Perl) or press a keyboard shortcut. Later steps can use what an earlier step printed.

Steps that change things, such as scripts and key presses, always ask before they run.

Run them your way

Pin a workspace or workflow to the dock, give it a global shortcut, or schedule a workflow for set days and times (Pro). dockrun://workspace/<name> and dockrun://workflow/<name> links run them from Shortcuts, Raycast or a script.
