Freeze

Freeze is a small macOS menu bar app that stops accidental Dock clicks.

You reach for Finder, hit the heavy app next to it, and now a video editor is launching on top of your work. With Freeze, the apps you pick are "frozen": a single stray click does nothing. They open only when you mean it - double-click, modifier+click, or long press.

- Freeze only the apps you choose; running apps work as usual

- Pick how to open: double-click, Control/Option/Shift/Command + click, or press and hold (0.3-3s)

- Toggle it off from the menu bar anytime

- Lightweight, no account
