The Dockmaster handbook
How Dockmaster works.
Short guides for every part of the app, from your first project
to split terminals, source control and the quick launcher.
Your first project
Install Dockmaster, add a project folder, open a terminal and start your stack.
Start here
Everyday work
Work with terminals
Open shells, split them, find text, and pick up where you left off after a restart.
Claude Code and other AI tools
Launch AI coding tools in one click, get notified when they need you, and paste screenshots into them.
Run commands
Start and stop your apps, read their output, and see everything that's running in Activity.
Use source control
Stage, commit, switch branches and sync with your remote from the panel next to your terminals.
Use the Quick Launcher
Pin projects to a small window that can stay on top, and start or stop them without switching windows.
Launch emulators
Start and stop Android emulators, and iOS simulators on macOS, from the Devices tab.
Reference
Keyboard shortcuts
Every Dockmaster shortcut on Windows, Linux and macOS, plus the keys that behave specially inside terminals.
Settings
What each option in Dockmaster's settings does, and its default.
Troubleshoot common problems
Fixes for busy ports, Git sign-in errors, missing tools and emulators, and where Dockmaster keeps your data.
Shortcuts are written for Windows and Linux. On macOS, use Cmd where a guide says Ctrl+Shift — the shortcuts guide lists both.
