Marquee adds a per-display, auto-hiding window bar to your Mac's secondary monitors — while leaving your primary display's native Dock exactly where it's always been.
Free. Apple-notarized. No account. No tracking.
Illustrative mockup of a secondary display running Marquee — not a captured screenshot.
Every feature below exists and has been verified against the real running app — nothing here is aspirational.
Your primary display keeps the standard macOS Dock, untouched. Secondary displays get their own Marquee bar — no more hunting for windows on the display without a Dock.
Each bar tucks itself out of the way and reveals on a bottom-edge hover, per display — independently, with no shared state between screens.
Window moves, resizes, minimizes, title changes, and focus changes reflect in the bar within about a second — no manual refresh, ever.
Raise, minimize, restore, close, and a Windows-style in-place Maximize that never triggers native fullscreen or a new Space.
Secondary displays don't show the system clock unless you've enabled separate Spaces. Marquee puts one right on the bar.
Default mode never touches your Dock preferences. Optional advanced modes exist for power users, off by default, fully reversible.
macOS's Dock is one global icon strip for running apps. It was never designed around individual windows or multiple displays — and if you've switched from Windows, or you just run more than one monitor, that gap is probably familiar.
The Dock shows which apps are running, not which windows are open — no per-window list, no click-to-minimize, no taskbar clock on every screen. Marquee brings all three back, on your terms.
The Dock and menu bar default to one display. Mission Control's per-display Spaces can do more, but it's fiddly to set up and easy to fight with. Marquee gives every secondary display its own bar automatically — no configuration required.
| macOS Dock (default) | Marquee | |
|---|---|---|
| Lists individual open windows, not just running apps | No | Yes |
| Own bar on every secondary display | No — one display only | Yes, automatically |
| Click an active window's icon to minimize it | No | Optional, Windows-style |
| Maximize without leaving your current Space | Green button opens a new full-screen Space | In-place resize, no Space switch |
| Clock visible on every display | Only with separate Spaces per display enabled | Built into every bar |
| Changes your existing Dock setup to get any of this | — | No — your Dock stays exactly as it is |
Power users who want to go further can optionally let Marquee replace the Dock entirely — off by default, fully reversible, documented in the app.
Marquee's core app is free, forever — not a trial. Advanced AI-powered features are planned as a one-time Pro unlock, not a monthly charge.
Marquee reads window titles and positions locally via macOS Accessibility APIs to build the bar — that data never leaves your Mac. There is no account, no cloud sync, and no analytics of any kind unless a future version adds an explicit, off-by-default opt-in toggle, disclosed here before it ships.

The download is a standard Mac app download. Marquee is notarized by Apple and checks for updates from inside the app.
