Releases: Micropeptide/DockAnchor

DockAnchor v1.0.1

@Micropeptide Micropeptide released this 29 Aug 21:42

Bug fix release.

Fixed: a serious bug where, on setups with a screen stacked directly beneath another (e.g. a laptop's built-in display positioned below an external monitor, sharing the same horizontal range), the entire lower screen could get misread as "past the upper screen's bottom edge" — causing the pointer to be yanked back on nearly every move/drag there. If you have a 3-display (or any stacked) setup, this fix matters.

No other changes since v1.0.0.

Install

Same as before — download the .dmg, drag to Applications, right-click → Open the first time, grant Accessibility permission.

Upgrading from v1.0.0

Rebuilding/redownloading changes the app's code signature, so macOS will drop the previous Accessibility grant. After installing v1.0.1, re-enable DockAnchor in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility.

DockAnchor v1.0.0

@Micropeptide Micropeptide released this 26 Aug 18:20

First release.

  • Pin the Dock to a chosen display when using multiple monitors.
  • Remembers your anchor choice per combination of connected displays (e.g. separate preferences for a home setup vs. an office setup).
  • Menu-bar only, no Dock icon of its own.
  • Optional login item.
  • Background update check (weekly/monthly/never) against GitHub Releases — never auto-downloads or auto-installs, just links you to the new release.

Install

  1. Download DockAnchor-1.0.0.zip below, unzip, move DockAnchor.app to /Applications.
  2. Right-click → Open the first time (unsigned build, so Gatekeeper needs that one-time override).
  3. Grant Accessibility permission when prompted.
  4. Pick your anchor display from the menu bar icon.

See the README for details on how it works.
