Look closer
More than meets the eye.
The demo shows how NiveDock looks. Here is what it does once it runs on your PC.
Your music, on vinyl.
The record spins while Spotify, Apple Music, TIDAL or YouTube plays. The cover becomes the label and the tonearm follows the song. Ten finishes, six based on photographs of real turntables.
- Real menus
- Badges and counts
- Wi-Fi and volume
- Keyboard language
Your real tray, rebuilt in glass.
The icons Windows shows on its taskbar, with their own menus, badges and states. Next to them Wi-Fi, volume, keyboard language and the clock.
Prices in your currency.
Stocks, indices, commodities and crypto in 30 currencies, at the European Central Bank daily rate. Charts for a day, a week or a month.
One dock per monitor.
Every screen gets its own dock, and profiles switch the whole set-up for work, games or focus.
Start from the N.
Search apps, settings and documents. Pinned apps you can drag into order, recent files and app categories, one click away.
Pick your orb.
Swap the N on the launcher for one of ten glass orbs: galaxies, nebulas and colour fields that slowly turn inside a thin ring of glass.
A click away, right in the dock.
Widgets open their own panels, so small jobs never need a separate app.
Safe by design
NiveDock runs alongside Windows without changing system files.
No code injection
It doesn't inject code into Explorer or other apps.
Stays on your PC
Your settings stay on your PC. No account, no telemetry.
Reversible
The taskbar normally returns when you quit or uninstall. A recovery entry is available in Start if needed.
No admin rights
A normal per-user app. It installs for your Windows account; no administrator rights needed.
System files untouched
It doesn't change Windows system files or settings behind your back.
Out of your way
Full-screen games and films get the whole screen. The dock returns when you leave full-screen mode.
