  • Hide app from the dock?

    From Martin S Taylor@21:1/5 to All on Thu Feb 17 12:15:05 2022
    Is there a way of tweaking an app so that it doesn't appear in the dock, even when it's running? There used to be a way to fix this, but I can't remember what it was, or even if it still works under a 64-bit OS.

    the app has to offer that ability.

    I have vague memories of an app called dockless but I’ve seen no mention of it for years. I guess it is no longer supported and/or doesn’t work on
    newer macOS versions.
