LilDock for macOS · Effective September 29, 2026
What LilDock keeps on your Mac
To remember your setup, LilDock saves a few settings in its own preferences file on your Mac:
- the list of apps you pinned (stored as their bundle identifiers, for example com.apple.Safari), in your order
- icon size, spacing, magnification, whether the Downloads stack is shown, and where you placed the strip in the menu bar
These never leave your Mac, and nobody else can see them.
What LilDock can see
- Apps you choose. When you add an app, LilDock reads its name and icon so it can show it. It only gets access to the apps you pick yourself.
- Your Downloads folder, read-only. Used only to list your newest files when you click the Downloads icon. LilDock doesn't open, copy, change or upload those files.
- Which apps are running. macOS tells LilDock when apps launch or quit, so it can show a dot under open apps. This isn't recorded anywhere.
LilDock runs inside Apple's App Sandbox. It doesn't ask for Accessibility, Screen Recording, camera, microphone, location, contacts or any other permission.
Hiding the macOS Dock
The “Hide” and “Show the macOS Dock” buttons only copy a command to your clipboard and open Terminal. LilDock never runs the command itself; you decide whether to paste it.
No tracking, no network
LilDock contains no analytics, advertising or tracking code and doesn't connect to the internet. We don't know who uses it or how.
Purchases and crash reports
LilDock is sold through the Mac App Store, so Apple handles payment. We never see your payment details. If you've chosen to share analytics with developers in your Mac's settings, Apple may send us anonymous crash reports; these are covered by Apple's Privacy Policy.
Children
LilDock collects no data from anyone, including children.
Emails you send us
If you write to support, we use your email address and message only to reply. We don't add you to any list or share your email.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
