Quit and restart the Dock and Dashboard

Have you ever been in a situation where your Dock or Dashboard is not loading properly or even crashing?

If so, quitDock widget can help you, by performing a simple reset of your Dashboard and Dock. It's ideal if you've suffered problems with either, or are concerned that one or the other is consuming far too much memory and is slowing down your system. Alternatively, developers can use it to test and retest components and widgets which they're designing for the Dock and Dashboard.

The Dashboard will be terminated immediately until you press F4 again to activate it. The Dock will reset and reappear within a few seconds. You can choose from three jazzy skins including a Tiger, Leopard and Dashboard theme. You can also choose whether you want a confirmation dialog before you quit anything.

quitDock is a handy reset tool for anyone suffering problems with the Dock or Dashboard. However, the fact that it's a dashboard widget means that if you have problems with the latter, you might not be able to access it anyway.

  • Pros

    • Quits and restarts Dock and Dashboard
    • Easy to use
    • Three different skins
  • Cons

    • No good if your Dashboard has already crashed
    • No way to just quit one or the other

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
