Features

BarsUp to 4 bars (“docks”) at once.
EdgesEach bar is pinned to the top, bottom, left or right edge and aligned to the start, centre or end of it (12 positions). Two pinned bars can't share a position. New bars start on the top edge.
FloatingThe lock button unlocks a bar so you can drag it anywhere; locking it again snaps it to the nearest edge.
TabsEvery bar has tabs; the tab strip shows when a bar has more than one. Right-click a tab to rename or remove it.
TilesApps, files, folders, websites (URLs) and Shortcuts (runs a named shortcut from Apple's Shortcuts app). Add with Add Tile or by dragging from Finder; drag tiles to reorder; right-click for Edit Tile, Reset Icon, Remove.
Folder tilesOpen a popup listing the folder's contents; click an item to open it.
Icons and labelsThe app's own icon, any SF Symbol or an emoji; a custom label per tile; labels on or off per bar.
Layout1 to 6 rows (top and bottom bars) or columns (side bars); tile size Small, Medium or Large (40, 56 or 72 points).
Auto-hidePer bar. The bar fades when the pointer moves away; bring it back from Jetty's menu-bar item or by clicking Jetty's Dock icon.
SpacesBars float above normal windows and stay on screen when you switch desktops (Spaces).

What Jetty does not do

  • Bars are placed on the main display only; there are no per-display bars.
  • There is no keyboard shortcut you can set to show or hide a bar.
  • Bars do not appear when you move the pointer to a screen edge.
  • Tile icons can't be your own image files (app icon, SF Symbol or emoji only).
  • No window previews, no list of open windows, no running-app indicators.
  • No search: Jetty is click-to-launch, not a keyboard launcher.
  • Not an all-apps grid: Jetty shows the tiles you add.
  • Jetty does not move, hide or change the macOS Dock.
  • No widgets, no recent-files list, no sync between Macs.
