DockIt

DockIt keeps a document open in Chrome's side panel, right next to whatever page you're browsing, so you never have to alt-tab between your browser and a separate PDF or Office viewer again. If you've ever filled out a web form while switching back and forth to a PDF, compared a spreadsheet against a web app, or read a contract while replying to an email, DockIt is built for exactly that. Open a document once, and it stays docked beside your browser while you keep working. WHAT IT DOES • Docks a document beside your browser: PDF, Word, Excel, images, or text files, always one glance away, with no window-switching. • Open however you work: drag and drop a file, use the Open Document button, or pick it from Recent Documents. • Capture straight from the web: right-click any link, image, or page and choose "Open in DockIt" to dock it instantly. • Search, zoom, and navigate inside the document: in-document search, zoom controls, sheet tabs for spreadsheets, and page navigation for PDFs. • Picks up where you left off: last page, zoom level, and scroll position are remembered per document. • Works with password-protected PDFs: DockIt prompts for the password locally; it's never sent anywhere. PRIVATE BY DESIGN, NOT BY POLICY DockIt reads and renders every document entirely on your device. Nothing is ever uploaded. • No account or sign-in required • No cloud sync, documents never leave your device • No analytics or tracking of any kind • Works fully offline SUPPORTED FORMATS DockIt opens PDF and Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, images, and plain text files. REQUIREMENTS Chrome 114 or later. WHY INSTALL IT Most document viewers either live in a separate app or take over your whole tab. DockIt does neither, it's a panel, not a window, so the page you were reading stays right where you left it. There's no account to create, no cloud step, and no data leaving your machine. It's free, with no paid tier. Have feedback, a bug to report, or a format you'd like supported?
