Indie developer yihuiindie is using $250 in Claude credits to rebuild his favorite paid Mac utilities as his own versions. First up: DockLock, which keeps the macOS Dock pinned to chosen displays so it doesn't jump when the pointer touches a screen's bottom edge. Open-sourced on GitHub; no system file modifications, SIP stays on, no network access.
