How to Remove the Dock Delay on Mac
With Supercharge
- In “System Settings › Desktop & Dock”, turn on “Automatically hide and show the Dock”.
- Open the settings of Supercharge, and click “Tweaks”.
- In the “Dock” section, set “Delay before showing the Dock when hidden” to “None”.
- Move the pointer to the edge of the screen. The Dock shows at once.
The delay does not change the Dock in fullscreen. If the Dock shows when you do not want it, like when you click controls near the edge of the screen, turn on “Prevent Dock from showing when moving the pointer to the screen edge” in the same section instead.

Without an app
Run these commands in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-delay -float 0
killall Dock
To get the normal delay back, run defaults delete com and killall Dock.
The commands change the same setting as Supercharge, so they are enough if you are at ease with Terminal. Supercharge gives you a menu with the delays, and the setting to stop the Dock from showing.
