Tucky
Notes docked to your screen edge, with an AI agent that can actually reach your other apps
What it is
Tucky is a native Mac app that keeps your notes docked along the edge of the screen so they're one keystroke away instead of buried in another window. It's encrypted locally, supports live markdown and checkboxes, and pairs the notes with an AI agent you can trigger with a global shortcut to search, rewrite, or pull in context from Gmail, Google Calendar, Docs, Sheets, GitHub, or Notion. The free tier gets you unlimited notes and 240 monthly credits once you sign in, or five notes locally with no account at all.

What you get free vs paid
Verdict
Pros
- Genuinely fast to reach: Option+Space opens the AI, Command+J asks a question about the note you're in, no window-switching required
- Real app connectors (Gmail, Google Calendar, Docs, Sheets, GitHub, Notion) mean the AI agent can pull in outside context instead of only reading your notes
- Local encryption keeps your notes on-device rather than only in the cloud
- A usable free tier: 240 credits a month signed in, or five notes with no account needed
- Live markdown and checkbox support instead of a stripped-down text box
Cons
- macOS only (15 or later); there's no Windows, Linux, iOS, or Android version
- The free tier's AI runs on "the best model only," so you can't pick a cheaper or different model without paying for Plus
- Voice dictation is locked behind the $12/month Plus plan
- Using the AI features at all requires signing in, which is a step back from the fully local, no-account option for notes alone
If you're on a Mac and want notes that are always one shortcut away with an AI agent that can genuinely reach your calendar and inbox, Tucky is worth trying since the free tier is real; just know the 240 monthly credits will run out fast if you use the AI features daily.
