Already using DockLock Lite?
DockLock Plus is a separate Mac App Store app. Install Plus, quit Lite, and configure your preferred display settings in Plus. Settings are not shared between the apps. You can remove Lite after setting up Plus.
A Lite subscription is separate from the Plus purchase. If you no longer need it, manage your subscription in your App Store account.
The same Dock compatibility as Lite
Both Mac App Store editions support the Dock at the bottom of the screen and require "Displays have separate Spaces" to be enabled. Moving the Dock between screens requires at least two displays. macOS 10.9 through 10.13 also requires the helper app.
Read Important NotesPermissions stay in your control
Starting with build 616, DockLock prevents accidental Dock jumping between displays without any extra permissions. Granting the optional "Device Control and Data Access" permission may improve Dock locking stability.
Automatic relocation after wakeup or display changes, and moving the Dock by command, require this permission.
