Description
Prevent unwanted Dock movement! DockLock+ locks your Mac Dock to a chosen screen. One-time purchase, no subscriptions. Try DockLock Lite for free before buying!
DockLock+ – A One-Time Purchase Alternative to DockLock Lite+
DockLock+ provides the same powerful Dock-locking features as DockLock Lite+, but with a one-time purchase instead of in-app purchases. Designed for users who prefer a straightforward purchase model, DockLock+ ensures your Dock stays where you want it on multi-monitor setups.
If you'd like to try the app for free before purchasing, download DockLock Lite from the Mac App Store. The free version lets you test basic Dock-locking functionality before deciding to unlock the full feature set.
Tired of your Dock unexpectedly switching monitors? DockLock+ prevents accidental Dock movement, keeping it fixed on your preferred screen when using multiple monitors.
When working with multiple displays, macOS can mistakenly move the Dock when your cursor reaches the bottom edge of another screen. This disrupts your workflow, forcing you to reposition the Dock manually. DockLock+ eliminates this issue, ensuring a more stable multi-monitor experience.
DockLock+ is ideal if:
- You have at least two connected screens (including Sidecar iPad setups).
- Your Dock is positioned at the bottom of the screen.
- macOS option "Displays have separate Spaces" is enabled.
- You're frustrated by your Dock moving unexpectedly between screens.
DockLock+ Key Features:
- Lock Dock Position: Keeps your Dock fixed on the monitor you choose.
- Customizable Screens: Define which monitors allow Dock movement.
- Temporary Unlock: Hold a key to move the Dock temporarily.
- Toggle Dock Locking: Enable or disable Dock locking quickly via the menu bar.
- Auto-Start at Login: Launches automatically upon system startup (requires macOS 12+).
- Discrete Operation: Optionally hide Dock and menu bar icons.
- Auto-Hide Support: Keeps the Dock locked even when in auto-hide mode.
Do NOT purchase DockLock+ if:
- You only have one monitor and do not plan to use an additional display or Sidecar.
- Your Dock is positioned on the left or right side of your screen.
- macOS option "Displays have separate Spaces" is disabled.
If you're uncertain about your setup, please try the free/trial version (DockLock Lite) available on the Mac App Store before purchasing DockLock+.
Important Notes
- Requires at least two connected displays to function.
- Sidecar (iPad) counts as an additional monitor - DockLock+ will function correctly in this setup.
- Works only when the Dock is positioned at the bottom of the screen.
- Command+Tab switching remains tied to the Dock's location.
- macOS option "Displays have separate Spaces" must be enabled for full functionality.
- DockLock+ can only lock the Dock to screens where macOS allows it to be moved manually.
- macOS only moves the Dock to a screen if at least a few pixels of its bottom edge don't overlap another screen.
- DockLock+ is a one-time purchase app with no subscription fees.
- DockLock+ and DockLock Lite+ have identical features; the difference is the payment model (one-time purchase vs. in-app purchases).

Ratings and Reviews
Best quality of life app EVER!
It blows my mind that this is not something that is natively able to be done on via the Mac’s internal interface. However, this app is the BEST! A lot of the software I am using requires my mouse to be almost at the bottom of the screen, which would always cause the Dock to jump in the way of what I was working on. I love that I can set it on the single screen that I want it on (out of the 4 monitors I am using) and it no longer gets in the way. My productivity has increased. Everyone who has a Mac needs this app!
Every single Mac should automatically come with this app pre-installed
The Mac Dock’s random jumping between screens has been a persistent source of frustration for countless macOS users over the years. It occurs frequently, disrupting focus and productivity during work. Despite numerous complaints, Apple has consistently disregarded customer feedback. To address this issue, Apple should acquire DockLock, ensuring its pre-installation on every Mac. DockLock is not a luxury but a necessity, and its inclusion would significantly enhance the user experience.
Do you struggle with your Dock staying put?
Do you struggle with your Dock staying put?
If the answer is no, this app isn’t for you.
But if you’ve contracted a case of multiple monitors, beware: You’re at risk to experience Apple’s most hateful “feature”, how the Dock hurdles itself to another display the moment your mouse innocently brushes the bottom of another screen like an overeager golden retriever chasing a ball.
It’s annoying. It’s disruptive. It’s like macOS is personally attempting to sabotage your carefully arranged windows just to watch your productivity suffer.
Thankfully, DockLock+ has solved this. And for a not unreasonable amount of money, ether. Just buy it. Your windows stay arranged, your workflow stays intact, and you’ll have a shred more sanity.
