DockAnchor
A macOS utility that locks the Dock to a single display in multi-monitor setups, preventing automatic movement for a stable workspace.
What is DockAnchor?
DockAnchor is a macOS utility that locks the system Dock to a single display in a multi-monitor setup. It solves the problem of the Dock automatically jumping between screens when the cursor approaches the bottom edge, which can be distracting and disrupt workflow. The app runs natively in the background, intercepting mouse events to keep the Dock anchored to a user-selected monitor.
Mac users with multiple displays who find the automatic Dock movement disruptive, particularly professionals, developers, and creatives seeking a stable, predictable workspace across monitors.
Developers choose DockAnchor because it offers a system-level, non-destructive solution that doesn't restart the Dock—avoiding flashes and delays—and provides real-time display management with profiles, automation, and a native, lightweight background presence.
Overview
DockAnchor is a simple macOS utility that stops the Dock from moving between displays. Lock your Dock to a single screen for a more stable, distraction-free workspace. Ideal for multi-monitor setups. Lightweight, native, and runs quietly in the background.
