At Reach
● macOS menu bar utility
Everything at reach.
Nothing in the way.
A menu bar icon, a global hotkey and a screen corner. Any one of them summons your app. Fire the same gesture again and the window slides under a screen edge — waiting there until your cursor calls it back.
01 — Summon
Three ways to reach it.
Bind one app or a dozen. Each gets its own shortcut, its own corner and its own edge to hide under.
One click, far left
The mark sits at the far left of your status icons — not buried by the clock. Left-click opens. Right-click gives you Settings.
From inside anything
Registered through Carbon, which means it works the instant you set it and asks macOS for no permission at all. Record any chord you like.
A third of a second
Rest the cursor in a screen corner and it fires. Pass straight through and nothing happens — and dragging a file there launches nothing either.
02 — Dismiss
The same gesture puts it away.
Most launchers only know how to open things. Fire this one while the app is already in front and the window leaves — under the edge you picked.
- EDGELeft, right or bottomLeft and right slide the window under the screen edge. Bottom hides the app outright — no permission needed for that one.
- BACKYour cursor is the handleRest it on the edge where the window went and the window slides out and raises. Move away and it slides back under.
- AUTOOr never think about itTick Auto and switching away tucks the window by itself. Switching back brings it out.
- FEELFour ways to travelSlide, ease, spring or instant — spring overshoots and settles, the way a real thing would.
- SAFENothing gets strandedQuitting restores every tucked window first, and drag a window back yourself and At Reach lets go of it for good.
03 — The rest of it
Small, signed, and out of your business.
Asks for almost nothing
Launching, hotkeys and corners need no permission whatsoever. Only the window-tucking asks for Accessibility — and everything else keeps working if you never grant it.
Signed & notarized
Developer ID certificate, hardened runtime, notarized by Apple and stapled. It opens on a Mac that has never seen the certificate, and on one that is offline.
No dependencies at all
Hand-assembled AppKit compiled with swiftc. No Xcode project, no package manager, no third-party code anywhere in the bundle.
As many apps as you like
Every bound app carries its own shortcut, its own corner and its own tuck edge. One gesture per app, all of them the same shape.
Never a rebuild
Shortcuts, corners, edges, dwell time and animation all live in a settings window. Restore Defaults puts back what the app shipped with.
It comes back by itself
Registers with SMAppService the first time it runs, so it returns at every login — and untick the box and it truly stays gone.
04 — Install
Three steps, no installer.
2.9 MB. The image is signed and notarized, so there is no Gatekeeper warning and no right-click → Open dance.
That is the whole installation. Nothing is written outside the bundle and your preferences.
The icon appears in your menu bar and the app registers itself to open at login. Open Settings… from the icon to choose your app, shortcut, corner and edge.
Upgrading from Corners N Tucks or BloomLauncher? Your settings carry over automatically the first time At Reach runs. One thing macOS will not carry across a rename is the Accessibility grant — switch it back on under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility and tucking resumes. Everything else works in the meantime.
