The record

Purpose: MonitorDock replaces taskbars on secondary monitors, and optionally the primary monitor, with per-monitor docks.
Pinned apps: Users can configure pinned apps separately for each monitor.
Window tracking: Running windows appear only on the monitor where they are located.
Dock controls: The dock supports drag-to-reorder, a right-click menu to pin apps or close windows, and configurable click-to-minimize behavior.
Appearance: Bar height is configurable from 32–72px and icon size from 16–48px.
Windows taskbars: MonitorDock can hide secondary Windows taskbars and filter secondary-monitor windows from the primary taskbar.
Startup and tray: It can start with Windows and runs in the system tray, where double-clicking opens the Control Panel.
Fullscreen behavior: The v1.1.0 release says the dock automatically hides when a fullscreen app is active on its monitor and reappears after fullscreen ends.
Installation: The README recommends a Windows installer and also documents building from source with the .NET 9 SDK.
Requirements: The initial release lists Windows 10/11 (64-bit) as requirements.
Configuration and logs: Settings and crash logs are stored under %AppData%\MonitorDock.
License: The project is licensed under GNU General Public License v3.0.
Integrations: The README documents selecting applications from .exe or .lnk files and does not list external service integrations.
Intended use: The README describes the product as a solution for Windows 11 users managing apps across multiple monitors and says it also works with one monitor.
