I’ve never made a Mac app. Within a few days using Codex I have 2. I didn’t open Xcode once. Free open source. Still a few bugs but I’m amazed.

Green button to maximise:

Do more things from dock icons:

You can just build stuff.

Download Macsimize

Download Macsimize for macOS. Macsimize turns the green window button into Maximize instead of Full Screen. It also overrides title-bar double-click to use the same maximize behavior. Use Maximize All and Restore All from the Macsimize menu bar icon for the windows in your current space.

@apotenza This might be tricky, but can you add (to Docktor) the ability to take different actions when clicking on a folder in the Dock?

Also, I'd love to see the source to these apps.

Also also, there's already an app called Docktor: https://docktor.site/

@siracusa That's a good idea will see what can be done. Oh no I didn't know about that app... Will have to rename to something else. All source code is on github, would love to know how awful it is considering it's all vibe coded.

@apotenza A brief glance and I can see that the code generators are still a bit behind the times when it comes to “modern” SwiftUI. (But then, so are my apps that were written many years ago…)

@apotenza Also, Docktor is guessing the app that was clicked by searching for the first running app that has the same title as the clicked item in the Dock. That will work most of the time, but it’s pretty easy to imagine a scenario where it will get it wrong.

@siracusa Believe I fixed the guessing + added in Folder Actions + renamed to Dockmint.

Folder Actions are 'Open In' at the moment with custom view options for Finder.

Was there something specific you had in mind as a folder action? Seems to be doable.

@apotenza I just want to click on a folder and have it open on the Finder. (That is, just a normal click, with no modifiers. In stock macOS, I have to command-option-click on a docked folder to get this behavior.)
Show threadJohn SiracusaMar 12
@apotenza Also, I don't want Dockmint to specify the view for the folder's Finder window. I want it to open the folder the way the classic Mac Finder did: show it the way the (one and only) Finder window for that folder was last set by me: size, position, view, everything. Your best shot at doing that in today's macOS is to just tell the Finder to open the folder and don't specify anything else about it and cross your fingers… :-/

@apotenza Also also, this feature seems to be pretty broken in v0.2.3. It works sometimes, but then stops working pretty quickly and instead shows the usual Dock popover or whatever when I plain-click on a docked folder.

@siracusa Try 0.2.6. I tried cleaning things up and making the defaults a bit more sane.
Show threadJohn SiracusaMar 13
@apotenza It seems more reliable now. But it looks like it's making a "Code" folder in my home directory and writing logs there…
Show threadAlex PotenzaMar 15
@siracusa Should be cleaned up in 0.2.8. Let me know if there's any issues.
