Dock

My favorite accessories for the Apple Watch Series 4

The Apple Watch Series 4 is perhaps one of my favorite tech gadgets of all time, and as you might come to expect, I use a plethora of third-party accessories to augment my Apple Watch experience.

I’m far from the only Apple Watch Series 4 user in the world, but that’s not to say everyone knows about the best gadgets that can be paired with Apple's smartwatch. For that reason, I’ve compiled this list of my favorite accessories with the hope that it might help some of you in your search.

Enjoy a fuller Home screen experience with Fullboard

Apple designed the iOS Home screen such that you could scroll through pages of app icons, but there’s always been a single row of non-scrollable, static app icons near the bottom of the display, more commonly referred to as the Dock.

Love it or hate it, the Dock is a staple in Apple’s desktop and mobile operating systems, but a new free jailbreak tweak called Fullboard by iOS developer Heft Johnson lets you nix it entirely, instead transforming the full height of the Home screen into a scrollable interface.

Pin your favorite apps to the Siri Suggestions widget with AppsSiriPin

Apple designed iOS’ Siri Suggestions widget to display recommended apps based on your usage habits. But wouldn’t it be nice if you could configure the Siri Suggestions widget to display the apps you wanted to see the most?

Well stop drooling, because a free jailbreak tweak called AppsSiriPin by iOS developer Julio Verne lets you choose which apps appear in iOS' Siri Suggestions widget.

Improve your multitasking workflow on iPhone with EasyAccess

You can undoubtedly multitask on an iPhone or iPad, but Apple's implementation leaves a lot to be desired. That’s why iOS developer Kane Buckthorpe released a new jailbreak tweak called EasyAccess.

As you might come to expect from the tweak’s name, EasyAccess intends to make multitasking more usable on the iOS platform. This tweak lets you perform actions in two apps at the same time and effortlessly move between apps by way of a highly-customizable dock that you can summon at any time with Activator.

MotionPicture lets you use animated GIFs and video files as iPhone wallpapers

Despite Apple’s attempts to step up its iOS wallpaper experience in recent years, with dynamic wallpapers, Live Photos, and motion, it still leaves a lot to be desired. Fortunately, a new jailbreak tweak called MotionPicture by iOS developer Dev4i can help with this.

As you may have already inferred from the tweak’s name, MotionPicture lets you have moving wallpapers on your handset's Home screen and Lock screen. Furthermore, MotionPicture works with various file types, giving you the flexibility you deserve for a personalized experience.

Dockey review: a simple app to customize your Mac’s Dock

Dockey App Interface Mac Featured

The Dock is an important part of your Mac. It holds the applications you use most often so that you can open them with a click. It can also contain those you currently have open, display badge icons for app notifications, and let you move things to the Trash easily.

So, configuring the Dock to your preference is a key piece to its effectiveness.

You can make some adjustments to the Dock in your System Preferences like location of the Dock, animations for minimizing windows, and changing the size of the icons.

But, if you would like to do just a little bit more with your Dock without having to toy with Terminal, then take a look at Dockey. Dockey is an application that lets you customize your Dock quickly and here’s what it has to offer.
