The world's first and only app that prevents the Mac Dock from jumping without system modifications!
Frustrated with your Mac Dock randomly jumping between screens when using multiple monitors?
DockLock Pro is the first-ever app that gives you full control over your Dock's position.
Locks the Dock to your preferred display, preventing unwanted movement (only while the app is running).
Does not modify macOS – works without system hacks or modifications.
No security features need to be disabled – fully compatible with macOS security.
Hide the Dock During Screen Sharing:
When sharing an external display in Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet, even a slight cursor movement near the bottom edge can cause the macOS Dock to jump onto the shared screen — revealing private apps, notifications, or simply creating distraction. DockLock prevents this by locking the Dock to your main display, ensuring it stays hidden from your audience during presentations or meetings.
With DockLock Pro/Lite/Plus, you gain complete control over your Dock without compromising system integrity or security.

Important Notes
⚠️ The app requires macOS 10.14 (Mojave) or newer to run.
⚠️ The macOS option Displays have separate Spaces needs to be enabled for this app to function.
⚠️ Requires at least two displays (monitors or iPad Sidecar) to function.
⚠️ Only works when the Mac Dock is at the bottom of the screen.
⚠️ Dock locking is possible only while the app is running.
⚠️ Command+Tab switching remains tied to the Dock's location.
⚠️ The demo version locks the Dock in place but does not allow you to move it.
⚠️ With the demo version, manually place the Dock on your preferred screen before launching the app.
⚠️ Due to a known macOS issue, the App Store may not always relaunch DockLock App after updating. If this happens, simply open it again from Launchpad or Applications. I'm working to solve that.
A Solution Inspired by Real Frustration

“Like many macOS users, I was frustrated by the Dock's unpredictable behavior with multiple monitors. After reverse-engineering how macOS handles Dock movement, I built DockLock Pro to finally take control over it.”
