ubu v1.1.1

Added

• Restart Dock in the menu bar menu. If the Dock freezes, this restarts it cleanly (launchctl kickstart -k), and macOS brings it straight back.

Changed

• New app icon.
• Signed and notarized by Apple.

ubu v1.1.0

Upgrade recommended for everyone on macOS 26 (Tahoe).

Fixed

• Dock could disappear on macOS 26. CoreDock is gone in Tahoe, and the old fallback (killall Dock) leaves the Dock stopped until you log out. ubu now moves the Dock back with a pointer push, the same gesture you'd use by hand. No Dock restart.
• Intel Macs: v1.0.1 and v1.0.2 shipped an arm64-only binary. This release is universal.
• Memory leak: about 430 bytes leaked per mouse movement. Memory now stays flat (~14 MB).
• Left/right Dock: the cursor could be pushed off-screen or bounced back onto the main display.
• Sticky edges: edges where another monitor continues are no longer guarded, so the pointer crosses freely between stacked or side-by-side displays.
• Start at Login stays off once you turn it off.
• Moving the Dock to another side is picked up straight away.
• Window drags are guarded as well as plain pointer moves.
• A single Accessibility prompt instead of the prompt plus a Settings window.

Changed

• No private APIs. ubu finds the Dock from the window list and corrects at most 3 times, 3 seconds apart, and never during a drag.
• Signed and notarized by Apple.

ubu v1.0.2

Signed and notarized by Apple — no more Gatekeeper warnings. Download, open, drag to Applications.

• Signed with Developer ID and notarized by Apple
• Version now stamped into the app bundle (previous builds all reported 1.0.0, breaking update checks)
• Drag-to-install DMG layout

ubu v1.0.1

• Drag-to-install DMG layout (app + Applications shortcut)
• Gatekeeper workaround documented in README
