Still Dock Pro

Annual from this page starts with 7 days free. You enter your card at checkout, every lock works for the 7 days, and you are not charged if you cancel before they end. After that it renews at the yearly price, shown above as a monthly amount.

Without a plan, locking your Dock's size stays free. That is the one everybody hits: one brush of the divider and every icon is the wrong size. Everything else, the other locks, the keyboard guards, profiles and iCloud backup, needs a plan.

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. A referral code takes the place of the trial with its own discount.

Annual is the one most people want. Paid now, it is $11.99 a year, the best price. With the first week free, it is $14.99 a year, and that is the only plan with a free trial. Both cost far less than $23.88 for paying monthly all year. 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 license 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 license. 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.

Purchased 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.

Purchased 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 days free on annual are 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.

Yes, with any Pro plan. The Still Dock plugin lets ChatGPT, Codex and Cursor lock and unlock your Dock when you ask. Your Mac applies the request through the same Touch ID or password check as the iPhone app. Setup is in the plugin guide.

Yes. Sign in with Apple sits next to the email code in the Mac app and the iPhone app. If Apple hides your email address, no purchase will match it, so use the email address you purchased with instead.

Built for macOS 13 and later, on Apple silicon. Most of our testing is done on macOS 26.

Yes, and it is free. Still Dock for iPhone and Apple Watch is on the App Store, on the same listing as Still Dock for Mac. It lists every Mac running Still Dock and switch its locks and Stop ⌘Q quitting on or off from your phone or your wrist. Turning something off asks for Face ID on your iPhone first, and if your Mac needs Touch ID or its password to unlock, it still asks.

It works over your own iCloud account, and nothing is sent to us. A Pro lock switches on from your phone only when that Mac has Still Dock Pro. It needs a Mac on macOS 13 or later running Still Dock 1.26 (direct download) or 1.13 (Mac App Store), an iPhone on iOS 17 or later, and, for the Watch app, an Apple Watch on watchOS 10 or later.

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