Hey everyone, I wanted to share a story about my journey to fix one of the most annoying problems I had with macOS: the Dock randomly jumping screens and moving around whenever it felt like it.
As someone who works with multiple monitors, I rely on the Dock staying anchored at the bottom of my main display for a consistent workflow. But every time I switched between apps or moved things around, the Dock would unpredictably jump to a different screen, driving me crazy!
I spent hours searching for a solution, scouring forums, and reading through hundreds of articles where other desperate users were trying to find a way to lock the Dock in place. Many of these posts and articles spanned over the years, with frustrated users pleading for a fix, but Apple never addressed the issue or provided a reliable solution.
So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and created DockLock Pro – an app that locks the Dock in place and stops it from moving between screens.
The best part? DockLock Pro works without any system modifications, hacks, or private APIs, which means it's 100% compliant with macOS and App Store guidelines. I even managed to get DockLock Lite approved for the Mac App Store!
Key Features:
• Locks the Dock in Place: Stops the Dock from jumping screens and keeps it anchored at the bottom where it belongs.
• Perfect for Multi-Monitor Setups: Ensures the Dock stays on the selected screen in multi-display environments.
• Lightweight and Safe: Runs unobtrusively in the background with minimal impact on performance, and it's App Store-safe.
If you're as tired of Dock frustration as I was, I'd love for you to check it out and let me know what you think!
I'm excited to finally share a solution that made my Mac experience better, and I hope it helps others too!
