MultiDock Alternatives
MultiDock is described as 'simple application that allows you to organize frequently used applications, documents and folders using small panels (Dock’s)' and is an app in the os & utilities category. There are more than 50 alternatives to MultiDock for Mac, Windows, Linux and X11. The best alternative is RocketDock, which is free. Other great apps like MultiDock are WindowGrid, Compiz, altdrag and Divvy.
MultiDock alternatives are mainly Window Managers but may also be Application Launchers or File Managers. Filter by these if you want a narrower list of alternatives or looking for a specific functionality of MultiDock.
