Why switch from a basic hider
Basic menu bar hiders work until you need context: which icons should always stay visible, which ones can always stay hidden, and how hidden icons should appear on a notched MacBook. Tuck is built around those decisions.
Tuck advantages
Shelf Mode
Show hidden icons below the menu bar on supported notched MacBooks.
Per-icon rules
Set always show, always hide, or toggle behavior per item.
Auto-hide
Hide icons after a delay and peek with hover.
One-time Pro

Migration path
- Install Tuck.
- Place icons you want to hide to the left of Tuck.
- Use the free Push Mode first.
- Upgrade only if you need Shelf Mode or per-icon rules.
