## What is DockSpark?

DockSpark is a native macOS utility for moving between browser profiles without opening browser menus. Hover over Safari, Firefox, or a supported Chromium-based browser in the Dock, then choose the profile or private window you need. Supported browsers include Google Chrome, Chromium, Microsoft Edge, Brave Browser, Vivaldi, Opera, Opera GX, and Arc.

- **Profile switching:** Open work, personal, and development environments from one compact panel.
- **Private browsing:** Start a private or incognito window without searching through a menu.
- **Local by design:** Your profile configuration stays on your Mac with no account required.

## How it works

1. **Hover over a browser.** Rest your pointer on a supported browser icon in the Dock.
2. **Choose an environment.** Select a configured profile or the private browsing action.
3. **Keep moving.** DockSpark asks the browser to switch or open the selected environment.
