Native macOS floating capture dock for quick screenshots and screen recordings.

Dock keeps a compact, always-visible control surface at the top center of the screen. It is designed for fast capture actions without menus, extra windows, or configuration flow.

• Compact native macOS overlay built with AppKit and SwiftUI
• One-click full-screen screenshot capture
• Start and stop full-screen recording
• Automatic Desktop output for images and videos
• Minimal Dynamic Island-inspired top-center placement
• Local build, packaging, and installation scripts

macOS requires Screen Recording permission for screenshots and recordings.

When prompted, allow Dock in:

System Settings > Privacy & Security > Screen & System Audio Recording

• macOS 13 or later
• Xcode 26.5 or newer
• Swift 6.3 or newer

Run the app locally:

swift run

Run tests:

swift test --parallel

Build a release binary:

swift build -c release

Install the macOS app bundle locally:

./scripts/install-local.sh

Dock saves generated files directly to the user's Desktop:

• Screenshots: Dock Shot YYYY-MM-DD HH-mm-ss.png
• Recordings: Dock Recording YYYY-MM-DD HH-mm-ss.mov
