Shortcut

Keep Tuck ready without an account or subscription.

Unlimited use

The free version has no time limit.

Where Pro adds value

Pro adds Shelf Mode, auto-hide timing, hover reveal, per-icon control, custom icon styles, and animation themes. That makes Tuck a better fit when the menu bar is part of your daily work setup, not just an occasional annoyance.

Privacy posture

Tuck avoids analytics and telemetry. It only contacts Tuck servers for license validation and Sparkle update checks.
