Mac Dock on an Ultrawide Monitor
Published · 5 min read
On a 34-inch or 49-inch panel, a bottom Dock steals height you need for timelines and code. Put Apple’s Dock on auto-hide and run a vertical Ordin dock on the side you favor.
Side vs bottom on ultrawide
Bottom docks compete with video timelines, terminal splits, and browser dev tools. A vertical strip uses dead margin on the left or right. See vertical dock on a Mac.
Two zones on one panel
Some desks put communication on the right vertical dock and build tools on the left. Presets hide one side during focus hours.

Should I move Apple’s Dock to the side?
You can, but you still have one Dock. A second vertical Ordin dock lets Apple’s Dock stay minimal.
