New: Dock Pics!
Sign up for a free Dock Pics account to share photos and music with other users. Dock Pics features a unique Pic Parade that expands Dock Party’s music visualization and colorful animations around your photos, shared tracks, and web pages.
Dock Party is a Spotify and Apple Music playback controller that offers a variety of ways to display album cover art, song details, and track progress for the currently playing track. Dock Party runs in the background as a menu bar status item that doesn’t take up any space in the Dock. It also features a unique audio visualizer that turns the Dock itself into a dynamic show of color and rhythm in sync with your music.
A key advantage of Dock Party is that the controls, track details, and visualizer are always visible as long as the Dock itself is visible. It doesn’t matter what app you’re working in; you can see what song is playing without a single click.
Dock Party runs efficiently in the background with low impact on system resources. Settings options and other features can be accessed from the Menu Bar icon. Most interface elements can be turned on or off or customized.
NOTE: The vast majority of Dock Party features only work if your Dock is positioned in the default, bottom location. If you’re one of those renegades who insists on sticking your Dock to the side, we can’t help you.
Also, most of Dock Party’s controls will not be visible unless the Dock itself is visible. It’s a Dock Party after all, not a stay-out-of-sight party. However, there are several major features that work fine with the Dock hidden: the Dock Pics service and Pic Parade, the track progress control bar and mini controls, and all of the menu bar functions.

• Track details and album art next to the Dock with player controls on the other side
