Overflow – Expand Your Dock 1
help
If you have a lot of applications in your dock it can get large and cluttered. Some times it may overflow with the amount of icons you have in there. This small application is designed to store you favourite apps, the ones you use the most, or any random file you always need. It is designed to be a quick way to access your stuff instead of going to Finder or cluttering up your dock.
Combating Overflow
The idea behind this application is simple. You add your files, apps etc into the squares on the application. You can either drag and drop them on, or use the add dialog box. You can customize the lists, for example you could have a work section, an apps section and so on. When you are ready you can press F1 to bring the application up and then access your files.
Since this is a good application it has lots of hover and movement effects. As well as this there is a lot of preference options so you can really customize the application to meet your needs. For example you can cusomtize the size of the squares, the distances between each one and so on.
Conclusion
Overall this is a good application. It does what it says on the tin. But to be prefectly honest you don’t really need it. For example many of the features can be quickly replicated by having your own set up Stack in the dock. The price of this product also puts me off ever so slightly. It could be cheaper. Download it yourself and see what you think.

Reminded me a bit of “HimmelBar” http://softbend.free.fr/himmelbar/
which I got from a friend, but that integrates into the menu bar.
A quick search also found “RapidoStart”, which looks more similar.
Might these be valid, free alternatives?Comment By zimtstern on December 9th, at 1:02 am
