I got annoyed with Bartender, so I made this. Click the chevron to see your hidden menu bar icons, then click an icon to open it.

Tuck needs Accessibility to move and click icons, and Screen Recording to show their glyphs. On macOS 27 it uses Full Disk Access instead of Screen Recording, to change which apps macOS allows in the menu bar. If the icons don’t appear after granting permission, restart Tuck from its right-click menu.

Thanks, Ice .

Tuck’s menu bar clicking and moving code is adapted from Ice, by Jordan Baird and its contributors. Its capture technique and Ice Bar are the basis for Tuck’s hidden-icon strip.
