One line
Still Dock keeps your Mac's Dock exactly where you set it.
Short version
Still Dock is a Mac menu bar app that locks your Dock so it cannot be resized, moved, hidden or rearranged by accident. It also stops Cmd Q and Cmd W closing apps you did not mean to close.
Longer version
Brush the divider beside your Dock by accident and every icon jumps to a new size, taking the space your windows were using with it. macOS offers no way to put it back, so you drag the divider by hand and never quite land on the size you had.
Still Dock is a menu bar app that fixes this by simply refusing. Set your Dock the way you want it, turn on the locks you care about, and nothing changes it: not an accidental drag, not another app, not a restart. Each lock is independent, so you can pin the size and still move the Dock between screens if you want to. It remembers what your Dock looked like before you locked it and restores that when you unlock, quit, or delete the app.
It also guards the two keys nobody means to press. Cmd Q sits directly beside Cmd W, and one closes a tab while the other closes everything. Still Dock can ask first, per app, so a mistyped shortcut is a question rather than a lost afternoon.

Two builds exist and they are not identical. Apple's rules mean the Mac App Store version cannot lock the Dock's contents, save profiles or lock permanently. It asks for no permissions at all; the direct download needs Accessibility for two of its features, and both are opt-in. The comparison table is the current statement of what each one does.
Still Dock for iPhone and Apple Watch is a free companion app that switches a Mac's Dock locks and Stop ⌘Q quitting on or off. It is on the App Store, on the same listing as Still Dock for Mac. See how it works.
