If you’ve switched from Windows to macOS, you might have many complaints about the Dock. And indeed, the Start Menu has several advantages: proper window management, application previews, and more.

Fortunately, you don’t have to put up with these inconveniences—using the [**Taskbar**](https://lawand.io/taskbar/) app, you can completely replace the Dock with the familiar Start Menu.

**Features Taskbar Offers:**

• Proper window switching within the same app

• Previews of open windows

• Displaying only the apps in the current Space

• Additional context menu options

The app settings also allow you to customize display options and animation effects, making the Start Menu even more convenient.

If some applications appear in the Taskbar but you don’t need them there, you can hide them using a blacklist.
