Hide opened apps in other desktops

Hi,

Is there any way to hide apps from the dock that are opened on other desktop? in windows it is possible and very comfortable because the dock is clean and showing only the apps in the current desktop.

Prevent Apps from staying in dock I'm looking for the solution for years, seriously, but still no success. So the question is quite simple: I don't want to have an app icon in the dock after it's closed. Ever. Is it possible? I know about "Show recent applications in dock" setting it's recommended in each 2nd post about this problem. But it's not exactly what I need. Some inactive icons still in the dock. So again the question. How to remove app icons from dock forever after the app is terminated?

Hide or group active Apps on Dock. Hello all, Is there a way to hide all the currently opened apps from the dock? In prior versions, opened apps were represented with a dot under the icon (I still have that), but now, in addition, on the far right each and every app or web page I open shows its own icon. So with each opened app or web page my dock grows smaller and smaller to accommodate. Before anyone responds, this is *not* about disabling recently opened apps, i've already done that. This issue is for all currently opened apps. Just to be clearer, If I have 3 MS word documents open, I will have 3 word icons representing each document. Likewise, if I have multiple tabs in chrome or firefox, I will have an icon on the dock for each. Ironically, it does not do this for native apple apps. This is a fresh install of catalina as my upgrade from mojave was quirky. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Paul

No.

If they are open they show the little dark under neath. You can make changes

>System Preferences>Dock & Menubar

You can disable "recents" from cluttering up your Dock space...etc.

Command Tab HUD (heads up display) is the other way of seeing all running applications
