New in 1.3.4 — Shelf rechecks saved icon images after upgrades. “Refresh Shelf Icons” replaces displayed images. Saved icons stay available, including translucent Dropbox. Free and Pro features keep the same boundaries; macOS continues to control the system icons it manages.
Tuck 1.3.4 · macOS 27 Golden Gate
After an upgrade, Shelf automatically rechecks saved icon images and refreshes them when needed. Choose “Refresh Shelf Icons” to capture a new image and replace the one shown. Saved icons remain available while they’re checked, and the translucent Dropbox icon keeps its transparency. Free and Pro features keep the same boundaries; macOS continues to control the system icons it manages.
Which other menu bar apps support macOS 27?
Download TuckClick the Tuck arrow in the menu bar, then type to search, open a group, tune the liquid glass, and lock the order. Everything below works.
Interactive demo — a working copy of the real Shelf. Click the Tuck arrow to open it.
Turn any slot in the Shelf into a named group. Drag icons onto it to file them inside; click it and a sub-panel pops open with everything you filed away. Groups are managed in Settings.
Open the Shelf and just type — or press ⌘F, or tap the magnifier. Shelf search filters every hidden icon, including group members. Arrow through the results and press Enter to open the one you need.
A single slider takes the Shelf from crystal clear to fully frosted. A live preview card in Settings shows exactly how the panel will sit over your desktop before you commit.
Search, settings and lock can live permanently at the end of the Shelf. Hide any of them you don't need. Lock freezes drag-to-reorder so the layout stays put — clicking still works.
The rest of Tuck stays exactly as quiet as you expect.
