0.2.0 — Hello, Tuck.
A new name, a native arrow, refreshed app rules, and a drag-to-install home. Your existing rules come along.
A little housekeeping
Before you
tuck in.
What Mac do I need?
This preview requires an Apple silicon Mac running macOS 27 or later. It has been tested locally on macOS 27.2. Support across other macOS versions and setups has not been broadly validated.
How do I install Tuck?
Open the downloaded DMG and drag Tuck into Applications. Launch it from Applications, then grant Accessibility access when prompted. This preview is ad hoc signed and not Apple-notarized, so macOS may require approval. Only approve a download you trust; don’t disable macOS security protections. Quit Tuck before installing a newer build.
Why does it need Accessibility access?
Tuck uses Accessibility permission to manage and interact with menu bar items. It does not require Screen Recording permission or a Tuck account. Your Keep/Hide rules are stored on your Mac.
Can I hide every individual icon?
Rules apply to the app that owns an icon, so multiple icons from the same app are handled together. Helper processes and system items may behave differently. Another menu bar manager can interfere with Tuck’s behavior.
What should I know about the preview?
The menu bar backend uses private macOS frameworks and may need updates when macOS changes. Some system controls or keyboard paths can be affected while items are hidden; reveal the menu bar first. Tuck is an experimental preview, not a broadly validated production release. Quitting Tuck restores the menu bar.
Make a little room.
Feel a little lighter.
