DockMinimize

A lightweight, simple native macOS utility that adds Windows/Linux-style "Click Dock Icon to Minimize and Restore" functionality to macOS.

---

How It Works

• App is open/visible $\rightarrow$ Click its Dock icon to minimize it (with the native macOS minimize animation).
• App is minimized $\rightarrow$ Click its Dock icon to open/restore it.
• App has multiple windows $\rightarrow$ Minimizes all open windows with the native minimize animation.
• Rearranging Dock icons $\rightarrow$ Dragging icons on the Dock will never accidentally minimize apps.

Quick Start

1. Launch

./build.sh
open DockMinimize.app

(Or install it to /Applications using ./build.sh install).

Note: If you had the previous version running, restart it with open DockMinimize.app.

2. Grant Accessibility Permissions

macOS requires Accessibility access for utilities that observe Dock clicks:

1. In System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility, ensure DockMinimize is toggled ON.
2. DockMinimize will automatically activate and show in the menu bar:
   Status: Active ✓

Menu Bar

A subtle menu bar icon provides:

• Live status indicator (Status: Active ✓).
• One-click shortcut to Accessibility settings if needed.
• Launch at Login toggle.
• Quit.
