Start with the baseline
- Confirm Tuck is in Applications.
- Quit and reopen Tuck.
- Open Settings and confirm Accessibility.
- Press ⌘⇧B and click the Tuck icon once.
- Confirm the affected icons are physically to the left of Tuck.
Accessibility is enabled but Tuck cannot use it
Turn the Accessibility entry off and on, quit Tuck, and reopen it from Applications. If macOS still keeps stale permission state, use the recovery actions offered by Tuck's permission guidance, then grant access again.
Shelf previews are missing or wrong
Grant Screen Recording when Shelf asks, then reopen Shelf. Tuck uses the permission to identify visual icon content; it does not record, store, or upload the screen.
A menu bar icon is missing
Reveal the group, relaunch the app that owns the icon, and refresh the icon scan. App updates may recreate a menu bar item with a new identity or return it to a different physical position.
The shortcut does not respond
Confirm Accessibility, then check whether another app already uses the same shortcut. Edit the Tuck shortcut or the conflicting app's shortcut and test again.
A Pro control is visible but inactive
Open the License tab and confirm Pro is active. Auto-Hide, Hover Reveal, Rules Mode, advanced reveal gestures, custom Shelf styles and order, custom icons, and spacing controls require Pro.
Secondary displays behave differently
macOS does not expose the same third-party menu bar management on secondary displays. Tuck's full hide and expand workflow targets the primary display; use the secondary-menu-bar cover option when appropriate.
Stable and Preview updates
Stable Tuck 1.0.38 build 45 is for macOS 14–26. Tuck 1.0.39 build 46 Preview 10 is only for macOS 27 Beta and uses a separate signed update feed. Read the Preview guide before changing channels.
