DockLock Pro

If you use multiple monitors on a Mac, you’ve likely experienced the frustration: the Dock jumps between screens the moment your cursor touches the bottom edge. It’s distracting, unpredictable, and especially disruptive during screen sharing or presentations.

This app solves that. It locks the Dock exactly where you want it — with no hacks, no system modifications, and no performance impact. Your Dock stays put, and your workflow stays focused.

Whether you’re a developer, designer, or presenter, this gives you full control over your desktop experience — smooth, stable, and distraction-free.

DockLock apps are fully sandboxed, meaning it runs in isolation and cannot access or modify other system components or user data, providing an additional layer of security and peace of mind.

DockLock app wasn’t built by a big company - it’s the product of a solo indie developer solving a real, frustrating problem with care and attention to detail.

Purchasing DockLock apps isn’t just about unlocking a feature - it’s about supporting innovation and the people who take the risk to build tools Apple didn’t. Every purchase helps ensure the app stays maintained, polished, and compatible with future macOS updates.

If you value reliability, long-term support, and original ideas from independent creators, buying DockLock app is a direct way to show that.

DockLock is the world’s first app that truly solves the macOS Dock jumping problem — and the core principle behind how it works was invented by reverse engineer and cybersecurity expert Ihor July.

For years, macOS users struggled with the Dock unpredictably moving between monitors. Ihor created the first native solution using macOS Accessibility APIs, allowing the Dock to be locked to a specific screen without system hacks or kernel modifications.

This breakthrough idea laid the foundation for DockLock Lite, Plus, and Pro. Each app is built in native C++ for maximum performance, fully sandboxed, and never makes background network requests. Unlike other tools, DockLock apps are lightweight, private, and precisely optimized for the job.

If your Dock stays in place, it’s thanks to this original idea — no one solved it before DockLock.
