Your mentions and replies. Not the whole feed.

The problem with checking social apps

The useful part of X and Reddit, for most people with work to do, is small: someone mentioned you, replied to your post or sent you a message. Everything else is a feed that's designed to keep you there. A desktop notification doesn't help much either, because clicking it drops you right back into the feed.

TopDock gives each platform a tile with a badge for what's new. The drop-down panel shows only the things that involve you, and closes with Esc.

X on your desktop

• Mentions and replies, with profile pictures, in the order they arrived
• Who liked, reposted or followed you, grouped so it stays readable
• Reply in place, or write a new post from the panel
• Activity checked on a schedule you choose, with a check-now button

X charges developers for every read of its API, so TopDock is careful: it only asks for mentions newer than the last one it saw, loads a few at a time, and lets you turn activity checks off entirely.

LinkedIn posts, too

There's also a LinkedIn tile for writing posts with LinkedIn's official sign-in. Choose who can see it, write up to 3,000 characters and post with Ctrl+Enter. It has no badge, because LinkedIn doesn't let apps read messages or notifications.

Nothing posted behind your back

TopDock doesn't schedule posts, auto-reply, auto-like or follow anyone. You write every word, and nothing leaves your PC until you press Send. Sign-ins use each platform's own login page, and the tokens stay in Windows Credential Manager. Read the details in our privacy policy.

Pin the conversation you're waiting on

Waiting for one particular reply? Pin an X conversation or a Reddit comment chain as its own tile. Its badge counts only new messages in that thread, so you can stop refreshing.

Part of one bar

X and Reddit sit next to your Gmail and Outlook tiles and a todo list. Press T on a mention or a Reddit reply and it becomes a todo that links back to it, for the ones you can't answer right now.
