About DockAnchor
A macOS app that prevents the dock from moving between displays in multi-monitor setups. In macOS with multiple monitors, the dock automatically moves to whichever display your cursor approaches at the bottom edge. This can be distracting and interfere with workflow, especially when you want the dock to stay on a specific display.
