DockLift solves a small but annoying problem for people who use a Mac with more than one monitor. If you have an app open on one screen and click its icon in the Dock while sitting in front of a different screen, the app usually just sits there on the other display instead of coming to you. DockLift fixes that by moving the app's window to whichever screen you are currently looking at and bringing it to the front, right when you click its Dock icon. It runs quietly in the menu bar rather than as a regular app window. Once it is on, clicking a Dock icon brings that app's most recent window to your current screen automatically. Holding the Shift key while clicking does something slightly different: it pulls all of that app's windows from other displays onto the screen you are using right now. It also restores windows that were minimized, and it works even if the app was already open somewhere else. You can turn DockLift on or off from the menu bar, and you can tell it to ignore specific apps you do not want it to touch. Getting started is simple: it installs through Homebrew, a common package manager for Mac, with a single command, or as a downloadable app. After opening it, macOS will ask for Accessibility permission, which the app needs in order to move windows around on your behalf, and once granted, DockLift works in the background without further setup. This is a lightweight utility built specifically for macOS users who regularly work across multiple monitors and are tired of hunting for a window that opened on the wrong screen. It does not require any technical knowledge to use, just an installation and one permission approval, making it suitable for any Mac user with a multi-monitor setup rather than developers specifically.
