Tucky is a native macOS notes app that sleeps as a thin stripe on the screen edge. Local and encrypted. Plus is $4/month for voice, connectors, and the best LLM models.
As a founder, I was drowning in scattered notes, ideas, feedback, and reminders spread across apps and screens. Every great product starts with a captured thought, but mine kept getting lost. So I built Tucky: notes that dock to the edge of your Mac screen, with an AI agent inside that turns a passing idea into action. It started as a tool for my own chaotic workflow, and it became the quiet assistant every founder wishes they had. Tucky is for people who think fast and need their notes to keep up.
The thin stripe idea is clever. Every notes app fights for your attention, this one deliberately hides until you need it. That restraint is harder to design than it looks. Congrats on the launch!
Docking notes to the screen edge instead of another window is the right call, most note apps lose to the "just one more tab" problem. Since it's local and encrypted but Plus taps "the best LLM models," where does that boundary sit - does the agent call out to a cloud model only when you explicitly ask it something, or does it also read your notes in the background to suggest actions?
Between managing different projects and jumping from task to task, my notes used to be a complete mess. I’ve been using Tucky regularly, and being able to capture a passing thought without breaking focus is a game changer. It really is the quiet assistant every fast-paced workflow needs.
Congrats on the launch! What is Tucky best at? What are the top use cases for founders - where you think it beats other tools?
