Field notes
Apps are organized by dragging them onto Dock folders, and users can search within an opened folder or launch apps with number keys. The page also describes smart folders that populate by category, name, or developer, plus a full-screen launcher for folders and ungrouped apps. It says each Dock change is backed up and can be reversed; the license covers up to two Macs.
