DockPin v2.1

What's New

• Left/Bottom/Right edge support — DockPin now follows the current macOS Dock edge setting instead of assuming bottom-only
• Layout warnings — warns when your display arrangement blocks the Dock edge on a selected display (e.g., a monitor stacked above another)
• Re-anchor Dock Now — best-effort gesture to pull the Dock back to the allowed display after screen changes or profile switches
• Smarter enable logic — refuses to enable when no allowed display exposes the current Dock edge, with clear messaging
• Live edge detection — detects Dock edge changes in System Settings within 0.5 seconds

Requirements

• macOS 13 or later
• Two or more connected displays
• "Displays have separate Spaces" enabled

Install
