Want An Alternative To Your Dock? Look Here.

uBar is a Dock replacement app. If you run macOS, you know about the Dock, the movable row of icons that you can use to select what program you want to use today, or what program you want to switch to. The Dock is great, but it also has some issues. uBar attempts to resolve those issues without creating any of its own. Here's how it measures up.

Become The Taskmaster

uBar's biggest feature is in the name: it provides the option of using a taskbar instead of a dock. It does, however, also have a dock mode. The dock version is somewhat staid and blocky by default compared to the macOS Dock, but it still has rounded edges and an appropriate grey colour. The taskbar version doesn't fit in quite as well, being a matte black colour, but it provides more of the app's features. You can get app flashes, progress in the taskbar, and a better idea of what apps aren't currently working. It also comes with superior multiple monitor support.

Raising The Bar

Overall, if you are looking for a dock replacement, uBar is a worthy one, and it is also a fantastic way to bring a taskbar to macOS. Though it lacks a few Dock-specific features, it has many others, from those described above to a simple clock. If you want a sleek, chic, and mostly form-fitting dock or taskbar, start here.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
