Privacy
Does Tuck collect data?
No telemetry, no analytics, and no tracking. Network requests are limited to license validation and Sparkle update checks.
Why does Tuck need Accessibility permission?
Accessibility lets Tuck manage menu bar behavior and respond to the global shortcut. macOS requires this permission for utilities that interact with system UI.
Why does Tuck ask for Screen Recording?
Screen Recording may be needed when opening Shelf so Tuck can identify menu bar icons accurately. It is not used for analytics. Read the permission tutorial for the full explanation.
Compatibility
macOS 27 Beta notice: Tuck does not currently support macOS 27 Beta. Apple changed parts of the menu bar in this beta, so Tuck's icon management features may not work correctly. We are evaluating the changes and working toward compatibility.
Which macOS versions are supported?
Tuck supports stable releases from macOS 14 through macOS 26, including Sonoma and Tahoe. macOS 27 Beta is not currently supported.
Does Tuck work with the MacBook notch?
Yes. Tuck supports notched MacBooks through Shelf Mode, which displays hidden menu bar icons in a panel below the menu bar.
Is Tuck a Bartender alternative?
Yes. Tuck focuses on the same core job: hide and organize macOS menu bar icons. The difference is a lightweight native app, zero telemetry, a free tier, and one-time Pro pricing. See the Bartender alternative page.
Updates and support
How are updates delivered?
Tuck uses Sparkle updates and publishes release notes on the release page. You can also download the latest notarized DMG directly.
Where should I report issues?
