Assist Pro DockAssist Pro Dock
Your work, one click away.
Keep your apps, files, local notes, projects and everyday actions within reach. Work faster without turning your desktop into another complicated system.
A focused notes workspace, built into your Dock
Capture a quick thought in compact view, then expand or detach Notes when you need a full workspace. Your notes stay on your PC.
- Bold, italic, headings, bullets and larger text
- Type / to add pages, links, toggles and to-dos
- Completed tasks move down and fade automatically
- Search, pin, categorise and link notes to workspaces
- Add reminders that reopen the right note
Quick notes or room to think.
Compact Notes shows recent notes and previews, with New note, Open notes and Detach controls. Expanded Notes adds search, filters, a note list and an editor. Detach it into a resizable window on another monitor while Dock continues to auto-hide.
Format naturally
Bold, italic, normal text and Heading 1, 2 or 3. Type ## for headings and - for bullets.
Organise thoughts
Use > for toggles, / for commands, local sub-pages, note-to-note links and timestamps.
Finish the checklist
Use [ ] or the To-do control. Completed items move below active work with faded strike-through styling.
Find your notes
Search, pin, categorise and connect notes to workspaces. Add Scheduler reminders for a note.
Stay local
Notes stay on this PC. There is no cloud synchronisation, team sharing or online backup implied.
Only open what you reach for.
The main Dock opens from its exact visible centre lip. Hovering elsewhere on the edge does not restore it. The top-right timer hotspot opens only the timer. If the timer is attached, the Dock lip restores both together.
Search, saved views, filters, sorting, summaries and selectable graphs in the Local Time Data viewer.
CSV export includes only currently filtered rows. Delete individual records when needed.
Time records older than three months are deleted by default. You can change the retention period.
Does Dock send my notes to an AI service?
No. The Notes workspace stores its content locally. Note content is not presented as input to Action Wizard.
More than a shortcut bar
Assist Pro Dock keeps the things you use most close to you, then helps you turn repeat tasks into simple, reusable workflows.
Quick Launch
Pin the apps you use every day and open them without searching through Windows.
Files & Folders
Keep client folders, templates and frequently used documents one click away.
Websites
Save portals, web apps and frequently used pages directly in your Dock.
Local Notes
Write, format and organise notes without sending their content to the cloud.
Clean Auto-hide
Only the small Dock lip restores the Dock, while the timer has its own corner hotspot.
Tell Dock what you want to open. Save it. Use it again.
Describe a Windows setup in plain language. Dock turns it into supported steps, shows you the plan and saves it directly to your Dock dropdown.
- Open apps, files, folders and websites
- Combine multiple launch steps
- Rename, edit and pin saved actions
- Connect actions to Smart Scheduler
Track your time without leaving your workflow
A compact timer sits beside the Dock. When auto-hide is enabled, the centre Dock lip restores the Dock and the top-right hotspot restores only the timer, without corner flicker.
- Project name, task and extra information
- Start, pause, resume and stop
- Add timestamped notes while the timer runs
- Keep timing when the Dock is hidden
- Copy or export a clean time summary
Your working data stays on your computer
Dock is designed as a Windows productivity layer. Notes and time records are kept locally, with clear controls for viewing, filtering, exporting and deleting them.
Rich notes, pages, checklists and reminders are stored on the user's PC.
Search, filter, graph, export or delete time rows in the separate local data viewer.
Records older than three months are deleted by default, and the user can change that period.
Remember it. Schedule it. Let Dock prepare it.
Create reminders from the Dock, choose when they should appear, and optionally connect them to an Action Wizard action.
- One-off and recurring reminders
- Snooze, dismiss or mark done
- Link a reminder to a saved action
- Optional automatic execution for supported actions

Simple enough to understand before you install
Is Assist Pro Dock free?
Yes. Dock Free gives users the core desktop Dock and quick-access features at no cost.
What is Dock Pro?
Dock Pro adds extra customisation, shortcuts, launch groups and productivity controls for a once-off payment.
What is Action Wizard?
It lets users describe what they want Dock to open or prepare, confirms the supported steps, then saves that action to the Dock.
Does Time Manage keep running when Dock is hidden?
That is the intended behaviour. The timer remains active while the user switches apps or hides the Dock.
Can a reminder be connected to an action?
Yes. Dock Plus can link Smart Scheduler reminders to saved Action Wizard actions.
Where are my notes and time records stored?
They are stored locally on your Windows PC. Dock labels local areas clearly and does not present them as cloud-synchronised.
How does auto-hide work?
The main Dock opens only when you hover over its exact visible lip. If a timer is active, its separate top-right hotspot opens only the timer, which prevents screen-corner flicker.
Can I move Notes to another screen?
Yes. Open Notes in expanded view or detach it into a separate resizable window and move it to another display.
Is Dock only for accountants?
No. It can serve accountants, auditors, admin teams, students, consultants, remote workers and anyone who works repeatedly from a Windows PC.
