I have certain applications like Local (server software for building websites on the computer) always running and their icons take up space in the dock. I rarely switch to them.
Does anyone know a software like Dockless that works in macOS Sonoma to hide the dock icons but keep the applications running (should ideally be available in the Command-Tab switcher)?
I want this too. Please tag me if you get an answer!
Very curious about this too as I’d like to hide Slack.
ActiveDock allows me to do this. But that’s a whole dock replacement.
I had the same question just now and found this neat trick (editing the app plist). It seems to work but has unintended side-effects (e.g. app also disappears from menu bar). I can live with that for the specific app I wanted to hide (Aspera Connect), I literally never have to see it anywhere.
+1 for Sidebar here - great utility that doesn’t get mentioned often.
yes, the amount of details that have gone into it is impressive. I wish its settings interface looked more macOS-like though.

Thanks for the message guys, 2 years later I still have the same issue so I’m going to check out Sidebar!
If you have the time I’d definitely love to read more about your setup, yes!
