Pricing

It starts the moment you install Still Dock, before you pay anything and whichever plan you later pick. The first 7 days are free, with the complete app and every lock working, so you can be sure before the first payment. Cancel inside those 7 days and you are not charged.

Monthly and lifetime do not include a trial. Monthly does not need one, since a month is already the shortest commitment there is, and lifetime is a single payment. If you want to try before committing, start on annual.

Annual is the one most people want: $14.99 against $23.88 if you paid monthly all year, and it's the only one with a free trial. Monthly is there if you'd rather not commit up front. Lifetime is a single $29.99 payment if you'd simply rather not rent software; it works out cheaper than annual after two years. You can switch whenever you like.

Every Mac you personally own or use, up to 5. It's licensed to you, not to a machine, and 5 covers every Mac a person realistically uses, and it's there to stop a single licence being rolled out across an office.

Seats free up on their own: a Mac that stops checking in releases its seat after 60 days, so replacing a machine costs you nothing and needs no email.

Not on a personal licence. If you want Still Dock on more than 5 Macs, or on machines your company owns rather than you, email hello@littlebirdtrading.com and we'll sort out volume licensing. Tell us roughly how many Macs and we'll come back with a price.

Any time, by yourself, without emailing us.

Bought here: open Still Dock's menu bar icon and choose Manage Subscription…. That opens your billing page, where you can cancel, restart, change your card or download an invoice.

Bought on the Mac App Store: cancel in your Apple account settings, because Apple handles that billing and we cannot reach it.

Either way you keep the locks until the period you've already paid for runs out. After that the app stops applying them and puts your Dock back how it was.

Direct payments are final. We don't refund part-used periods, and the 7-day trial is there so you can be sure before you pay. If the app is genuinely broken or doesn't do what this site says, write to us and we'll fix it or refund you. App Store purchases are refunded by Apple under Apple's policy. Full detail in the terms.

Apple's rules for App Store apps are stricter than for apps you download directly, and some of what Still Dock does isn't allowed under them.

Both versions lock size, position and hide & show, keep the Dock on one display, and unlock with Touch ID. Direct download adds the contents lock, profiles and hotkeys, the permanent lock that survives deleting the app, and full iCloud backup rather than just your locks. The App Store version also stops working while the Dock is set to auto-hide, and its locks work by keeping your pointer away from the divider rather than blocking the drag outright, so a determined drag can still get through. In exchange it asks for no permissions at all, where the direct download needs Accessibility for two of its features.

Everything unlocks. Still Dock reverts every setting when it quits and when it's removed. It will never leave your Dock stuck.

Built and tested on macOS 26. Earlier versions are being tested; the intended minimum is macOS 13.

The direct download, unless you specifically want Apple to handle the billing. It costs less and does more.
