Meet Racer: pit-lane calm, full-throttle energy.
Racer has done the long nights and the fast laps, and it shows in how easy he makes it look. He jogs the length of your Dock, stretches like it is the grid before a start, and celebrates every small finish line. Quiet focus, then speed.
Fast, but never frantic
Racer is built around the calm before speed. He takes a breath, stretches, and then goes. On your Dock that means easy jogs from one end to the other, a warm-up when he has been still too long, and a proper celebration when something finally works.
The suit tells you who he is
His white racing suit with red and yellow stripes, the high red collar and the red-and-white boots make him easy to spot even at Dock size. The silver hair and beard do the same up close.

Choose Racer on the website, sign in with the same email, and Racer downloads onto your Mac and stands on top of your Dock. A plan and your buddy are what put Racer there.

What is Racer learning next?
Next on Racer’s list: pulling on his helmet, a lap in his little race car, and spraying the winner’s bottle. Like everything on our roadmap, these come in the order the work happens, not on promised dates. We add new activities regularly, often from ideas people send us.
