Does this help put the dock on multiple monitors permanently? I hate current macOS with its single dock on 1 monitor that changes randomly.

> that changes randomly

Moving the mouse pointer to middle of bottom edge of a screen will permanently move the Dock there. As far as I know, there is no way to disable this behavior. It's terrible.

For simultaneous multi-monitor, you're probably forced into using a full Dock replacement. There are a few options out there, but none have ever stuck with me personally.

If you go into System Preferences and disable "Displays have separate Spaces" it'll keep the dock and app switcher on your primary display.

I'm not a Spaces user so not sure what impact this has outside of the dock behaviour.

Hey, DockFlow dosn't replace the macOS Dock so no, Maybe I will try to build integration with other solutions that are replacing the Dock and allow multiple Docks on different screens. I built it to be as simple as possible without impacting the mac performances to I keep the native macOS dock. Thanks for showing interest
