This walkthrough covers the real first-run path: install the notarized DMG, grant Accessibility, hide icons with Push Mode, and learn where Pro controls live.

macOS 14+Current 1.0.3Notarized DMG

1. Install Tuck

  1. Download the current Tuck DMG.
  2. Open the DMG and move Tuck to Applications.
  3. Launch Tuck from Applications so macOS recognizes it as the installed app.

2. Grant Accessibility

Tuck needs Accessibility to manage menu bar behavior and respond to the global shortcut. The welcome screen has a dedicated Accessibility button; macOS opens System Settings so you can enable Tuck.

3. Try Push Mode

Once Accessibility is enabled, click the Tuck menu bar icon. Icons to the left of Tuck hide. Click again to restore them, or press ⌘⇧B from anywhere.

4. Choose what to refine later

The free tier covers Push Mode, shortcut control, and launch at login. Pro adds Shelf Mode, auto-hide, hover reveal, per-icon rules, custom icon styles, and animation themes.

If you are on a notched MacBook, continue with Shelf Mode. If macOS permission prompts are confusing, read the permission guide.
