QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about LoadDock.
LoadDock is built specifically for macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) and macOS 15.0+ (Sequoia). It is compiled as a Universal Binary, natively supporting both Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) and Intel-based Macs with zero translation overhead.
Yes! In the LoadDock Settings panel, you can choose between ⌥ Option, ⌃⌥ Control+Option, or ⌘⌥ Command+Option to seamlessly avoid any conflicting system shortcuts.
macOS requires Accessibility permissions for global Carbon hotkeys to listen to global shortcut triggers even when another application is in focus. LoadDock never logs your keystrokes, never stores passwords, and operates 100% offline.
Tapping ⌥A summons a lightweight translucent HUD panel right on your active display. It presents all 10 slots and their associated shortcuts. The HUD automatically dismisses after 3 seconds or on the next keypress, so your creative concentration is never broken.
Absolutely. Because LoadDock is distributed through the Mac App Store, a single purchase allows you to install and restore it on all Macs linked to your Apple ID.
