macOS Dock x 2?

Can the Dock appear in more than one place at a time on a Mac?

I have three 32" monitors, side-by-side, so often, while viewing the left-side monitor for an extended period, I miss alerts/flags in the Dock, which appears on the right edge of the right-side monitor. Of course, moving the Dock to the left monitor will just reverse the problem.

Having the Dock on the outer edge of the outer monitors might be a good thing, eh?

(Since this system doesn't provide my specific device, I'll note that it is a late-2013 Mac Pro, yes on Monterey, but I'm aiming for a Mac Studio in the near future, where the issue would still stand. (Unless it doesn't 'cuz Ventura has the solution…))

FWIW, you can send Apple feedback about your desire to have the Dock show on all screens. If enough people do so, who knows.

Thanks, Yer_Man.

I'm giving uBar a try, though I've had to inquire with them about the setup I'm looking for: a dock on the left side of the left-side monitor, a dock on the right side of the right-side monitor, and no dock on the middle monitor. So far, I seem to get either a single dock in a location of my choosing or, if mirroring is invoked, a dock on each monitor, but all in the same relative position, and I don't really want to chew into my middle monitor by, say, putting the docs at the bottom.

Wish me luck…
