Circle Dock Alternatives

Circle Dock is described as 'The idea behind Circle Dock is that the dock should appear where your mouse is instead of you having to move your mouse to the dock like with other programs. This is accomplished by making the dock a circular or spiral shape so that it can be placed anywhere, even near the edge' and is a application launcher in the os & utilities category. There are more than 25 alternatives to Circle Dock for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, Linux Mobile and Flathub apps. The best Circle Dock alternative is RocketDock, which is free. Other great apps like Circle Dock are ObjectDock, Cairo-Dock, Docky and Winstep Nexus.
