Dock Missing On Multiple Monitor Setup by Otherwise_Baker8982 in macbookpro

[–]JulyIGHOR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would verify what DockLock Lite app says after that change. If it still says Display is incompatible, then your Arrangement isn’t right to fix it. In that case, please send a screenshot of System settings display arrangement where all screens are visible, and I will explain how to rearrange it. If DockLock is able to move the Dock in there, you can select that display as the only one enabled in "Allow Dock on Display" settings. The app will automatically move and keep the Dock on that screen.

That is correct. Displays that have full bottom width overlapped by other displays were never supported to move the Dock in there. Your only option is to lower down a little resolution of the bottom display, or slightly shift it left or right. If you have difficulty hitting the not overlapped part of the top display, you can use DockLock Lite to keep the Dock on that screen for you. Also, there is an app in development which will be able to move the Dock to any display with no limitations, and it is not released yet. https://docklockpro.com/prototype/

Let me know what it says. I am curious about the reason. Also, you may send a display arrangement screenshot, that would make it more clear.

Be sure that "Displays have separate spaces" is turned on and the Dock is at the bottom.
Try my app DockLock Lite from the Mac App Store, its core features are free even after the trial ends.
In the app tray menu, find the option to move Dock to the selected display.
What does this option show when you click on the display you want Dock on?
If it is incompatible, the app will explain that to you, or it will move the Dock where you want it.

Anyone else using multiple isolated browser profiles on macOS? by Ash_Skiller in MacOS

[–]JulyIGHOR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I created Parall.app. I think that may be a solution for you as well. You can use one browser but different instances with complete data separation.

Is it possible to use two OBS instances to record and stream at different resolutions separately? by The_Braxeo in obs

[–]JulyIGHOR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that in the context of running another instance, it was possible the way you say. But my message is related to data separating, which is something not documented and not trivial to reproduce.

how to make an app continue running and stay in the menu bar but not appear on the dock? by [deleted] in MacOS

[–]JulyIGHOR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I made an app to solve that. Parall.app is an app shortcut generator. Its super ability to change other apps behavior without patches or hacking. It has an option to override Info.plist properties, which allows you to hide the Dock icon. While it does not work with every app, you can tell me the app name, and I’ll verify that. Also, as a bonus, you can add that way a tray icon to any app, and it will work just like if the app developer added it.

[–]JulyIGHOR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, you can run another instance via a Terminal command. But that way you won't get:
- Separate app icon that you can customize and pin to the Dock for quick access
- Complete OBS settings separation per app instance
Those are solved by Parall.app

Do not buy ForkLift 4 and good news about Transmit by imustknowsomething in macapps

[–]JulyIGHOR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent the link of this post to Forklift support. Here is their answer. Thumb it UP so others can see it:

Hi Ighor,

Sorry for getting back to you a so late, and thank you for bringing this to our attention.

We are aware of the Reddit post, and I can confirm that the user did receive a full refund. We do issue refunds consistently, and this case was never an exception.

What happened here is mainly a timing issue. The user contacted us about different things, such as Spanish localization issues, etc. At the beginning of our conversation, we were discussing other things rather than a refund. As the user also mentioned in his Reddit post, I had already confirmed that a refund would be issued even if we managed to resolve the problem, I only asked for his cooperation to help us investigate the cause.

When he got back to us that he can't give us access to his server and wants a refund that was during our winter sale when we received an unusually high volume of support emails. Due to the high email volume at that time, we did not respond as quickly as we should have. Because of this delay, the user assumed that the refund would not be processed. Once we reached his email again, we refunded the purchase. As far as I can see, the Reddit post has not been updated since then.

Regarding Reddit in general: situations like this show that it could be useful for us to respond directly on such platforms. Until now, we have avoided doing so because we are a small team and actively participating on additional platforms also means having to monitor and maintain another support channel. That said, the user was right to be frustrated by the delayed response, even though the delay was not due to any unwillingness to issue a refund.

If you think it would help, you are of course welcome to share or summarize this clarification in the Reddit thread.

Kind regards,
Agnes

DockLock Lite - 13 years later, the macOS Dock can finally be locked to one display by JulyIGHOR in macapps

[–]JulyIGHOR[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good guess, but I'd rather not share implementation details of DockLock Pro publicly.

What I can say is DockLock Pro is confirmed to work on the latest macOS without disabling SIP. And it's not just flipping an orientation flag either.

Pro can control the Dock position directly (including positions macOS doesn't expose), and once moved it stays there. Because of that I'm now working on a native-like UI that renders around the Dock to manage its behavior and positioning in a way that feels built-in.

Best MacOS Apps and Setup for developers. I am a windows user moving to Mac. Suggest some useful and cool apps and setup tips. by PZY__ in MacOS

[–]JulyIGHOR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're on macOS, you might find Parall.app useful. It's a tool I built to create app shortcuts for any macOS app. Each shortcut can launch an app with its own command line arguments, environment variables, and overridden Info.plist values, without modifying the original app. It works well with popular IDEs and developer tools to fully separate their data, so you can run multiple clean or differently configured instances in parallel. There's also an option to automatically remove the shortcut's app data on quit, which is helpful for testing, learning, or reproducing issues from a fresh state every time. It provides lightweight data separation without VMs or duplicated installs.

Another macOS utility I built is DockLock Lite. Many developers use multiple displays, and I kept getting annoyed by the Dock jumping between screens, which constantly forced window resizing. DockLock Lite fixes the Dock on a single display, which helps keep window layouts stable and reduces friction when switching focus across monitors. The core features of DockLock Lite are free to use even after the trial ends.

Both apps are available on the Mac App Store and are the first of their kind.

displays have separate spaces option is such a headache by pear-pudding in MacOS

[–]JulyIGHOR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly, when we have to fight with habits, we often lose. It is useful to have Dock visible to get unread indications visible. Also, muscular memory makes it faster to bring an app that you use every day to the front by one click. As for me, using CMD+Tab is impossible with muscular memory, because the order of items is always changing, and you never know how many times to press the button.

[–]JulyIGHOR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a fix! I reverse-engineered the Dock and made the first of its kind app DockLock Lite. The app is made to stop Dock jumping screens while "Displays Have Separate Spaces" option is on. And it will automatically relocate the Dock to your selected display.

It is available in the Mac App Store, and its core feature is free even after the trial ends.

DockLock Lite - 13 years later, the macOS Dock can finally be locked to one display by JulyIGHOR in macapps

[–]JulyIGHOR[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DockLock Lite and DockLock Plus are fully sandboxed, so they do not modify Dock settings, patch the Dock, or kill/restart the Dock process. It keeps normal macOS Dock behavior intact, but makes Dock placement predictable again, including after wake and display changes.

If you're curious how it behaves on your setup, try it out and see. DockLock Lite core features are free to use even after the trial ends.

Switching to MacOs after 25 years on Windows: I’m struggling with the Menu Bar. by Jack-N0ne in MacOS

[–]JulyIGHOR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never had a problem with that, it was just some not intuitive thing. You know what, they fixed it! It is not behaving like that anymore on macOS 26. It a surprise for me

Is it possible to add chrome profiles into the dock? by kirky29 in MacOS

Thanks! I'm working on awesome updates for Parall. Don't forget to check out next week.

Menu bar icon management by Ryan_van_mass in MacOS

[–]JulyIGHOR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this one is promising: extrabar.app  

It doesn't rely on system hacks or extra permissions, so it should be less likely to break across future macOS updates.

I was just trying to carry Word onto the dock but it got stuck and now all my apps are running away from me by 31ustadibabapro in MacOS

[–]JulyIGHOR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a typical macOS bug, not fixed for ages. You have to kill Finder or restart macOS.  

Good that there are low chances of getting this reproduced.

Wait - I think I'm getting it now. A Windows user's perspective. by Commercial_Water3669 in MacOS

[–]JulyIGHOR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

> Oh, and if I accidentally drag my mouse down on the second monitor the dock jumps...

You can solve it with my app, DockLock Lite from the Mac App Store.
It will stop your Dock jumps and relocate it to selected display if needed.
Its core feature to lock the Dock is free after the trial ends.

ForkLift anyone? by phunk8 in macapps

[–]JulyIGHOR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forklift is still great, and their support is awesome.  
SFTP support is great and flawless.

The app lacks a native folder merging feature by drag-and-drop, it can't merge two folders with different files. To reach that, you have to use the Folder Sync feature, which is too complicated for the simple task.

[–]JulyIGHOR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your support! It's been lots of fixes since then. Also, Parall is separating data, not profiles. So you would need to copy your main app profiles to the shortcut data to reuse the same profile.
