It’s an app that hides the Dock when you’re on your laptop, and shows it when connected to an external display.
Would anyone download this?

We're using

as a new format for our iOS release notes, hopefully slightly more engaging and we can surface it naturally in the product 👀
A "Release Notes" tape, with each update having its own clip.
