Course Dock for Windows, macOS & Linux

Course Dock is built for anyone who buys or downloads video courses and ends up with a folder of files instead of a proper learning platform. Pick a course folder and Course Dock reads its structure automatically — sub-folders become sections, videos become lessons, and everything else (PDFs, slides) is picked up as a resource.
› A "My Learning" grid with per-course completion percentage
› A full-featured player with speed control, Picture-in-Picture, and hotkeys
› Notes and bookmarks saved locally in a SQLite database
› Auto-updates in the background, installed on next quit
› Your video files are never copied, uploaded, or modified
Stop losing your place in a folder of numbered MP4s. Course Dock turns it into a course you can actually track.
