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.

@maehdi_harzallah Twisting passive distracted thoughts directly into actions item is where of the most notes app fall short, the local and protected part clearly caught my attentions, especially for work related notes.
How well does the ai agent understand the context of notes from different projects?
So here's the deal: Tucky is basically a founder's second brain that lives right on your own Mac- notes, Calendar, and quick actions all local, so none of your workflow is trapped inside another tool.
What makes it beat the others?Speed and simplicity. One short command handles the boring stuff: scheduling, drafting replies, capturing tasks. Without you bouncing between five apps. It's the difference between "let me set up a meeting" and it just… happening.
And how does it help founders, concretely? Imagine you're mid-launch and a random thought pops in — "follow up with that investor," "rework that headline." You just tell Tucky, and it becomes a task with a due date, waiting for you later. Meeting prep, keeping your Product Hunt + launch conversations organized, turning stray thoughts into follow-ups before they slip away all handled in one place. 🚀
Happy to walk you through a live example if you want to see it in action; it might even blow your mind a little. 😄
This is a cool idea. I have this situation myself where I end up with a collection of notes I want close to hand and not hidden in folders.
I wanted to ask a question about the pricing structure. A lot of features seem behind a payment, so users need to pay before getting a full taste of what Tucky could do.
Was there a reason for this? It seems you could push for a paid subscription from the beginning and avoid supporting a free plan all together.
@darryl_bayliss Everything relies on an agent; our costs include the agent and LLMs. We're considering a bring-your-own-key option, but not currently. Since the core is integrated, open access isn't available; users need both an agent and an LLM. If you only need Notes, it's free. Access to agents and external operations requires a paid subscription. Additionally, we cover the expenses for the LLMs.

Congrats on the launch! Love the idea of notes being always accessible without having another app window open. Keeping everything local and encrypted is a nice touch too. Any plans to bring Tucky to Windows as well ? Would love to try
@yogesh_builds Yes, Windows is on our roadmap. We'll add a wishlist on the website soon so users can vote for the platform they want, Windows included. Stay tuned!

@houcineabdaoui Thanks for the support. A Windows version will be available soon.
Great. Congratulations on the launch! By the way, which AI models do you use? Why not use Apple’s Foundation Model?
