About DockLens
DockLens adds window previews to the Dock. Hover an app's icon and a panel shows live thumbnails of each of its windows, including minimized windows and windows on other desktops. Click a thumbnail to switch to it, or use the close, minimize and full-screen buttons on the preview. It suits people who keep many windows open in one app and want to reach them from the Dock.
It requires macOS 26 or later; the app is a universal binary. The README says it is not notarized yet, so the first launch needs Open Anyway under System Settings, Privacy & Security. Accessibility permission is required. Screen Recording is optional: without it, the preview lists each window by app icon and title. From version 1.0.4 on, releases share a signing certificate, so granted permissions are kept across updates.
