The Dock menu appears when you Control-click DEVONthink's icon in the Dock or left-click it and hold the mouse button for one second or longer. When items are added to a database, a badge appears on this icon. Longer tasks, e.g., importing, indexing, or running scripts, may show a progress indicator on the dock icon.

It also contains the generic macOS commands and an Options menu common to all macOS applications. DEVONthink-specific items are listed below:

Recent Databases: Quickly reopen a closed database from this list.

Open Windows: Switch to any open window from this list. The active window is displayed with a checkmark next to it.

New Window: Open the selected database in a new main window.

Take Note: Opens the Take Note panel.

Start/Stop Server: Starts or stops the web server.
