Cyberdog is an OpenDoc-based suite of internet applications, including email and news readers, a web browser and address book management components, as well as Drag and Drop FTP. Used together they produce a single suite similar to those offered at the time by larger "monolithic" applications such as Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer. However the use of OpenDoc allows these components to be reused and embedded in other documents by the user. For instance, a "live" web page could be embedded in a presentation program.

It was at one time positioned as a replacement for AOCE which had failed in the market, but for this role it had many of the same problems that caused the failure in the first place. Other times Apple referred to it simply as a demonstration of OpenDoc, a line that became more common as time went on. Through the 1990s Apple was "gun shy" of upsetting 3rd party developers by introducing software of their own, and this likely had a part to play in the story as well.
