Your Dock.
Stays. Put.

macOS moves your Dock to whichever screen you nudge the bottom edge of — and there's no setting to stop it. ubu is the loyal little menubar app that keeps it right where you want.

ubu the beagle mascot

Three layers of good behaviour.

Like a well-trained beagle, ubu doesn't rely on a single trick.

01

Event Tap

Intercepts the mouse at screen edges and gently warps the cursor back — migration is stopped before it starts.

02

CoreDock

If the Dock ever slips, ubu snaps it straight back to your chosen display, instantly.

03

Accessibility

A watchful safety net that bursts into action on display changes and catches anything else.

Set up in 30 seconds.

  1. 1Launch ubu — a paw print appears in your menubar.
  2. 2Grant Accessibility permission when prompted.
  3. 3Done. Your Dock stays put — even after restarts.

Starts at login automatically. Pause, resume and check for updates right from the menubar.
