In development

The YucDu macOS app is still in development and is not yet available on the Mac App Store. This guide is based on the current development build; features and screens may change before release.

Explore​

Click "Explore" in the sidebar or press ⌘2.

  • Category index — lists the main categories and their subcategories; the count next to each category includes its subcategories.
  • Archive — browse past articles by year and month.
  • Click a category to see its article list. The top of the list shows the category name and article count; if it has subcategories, click one to narrow things down.
  • To go back a level, use "Go > Back" (⌘[).

The category list at the bottom of the sidebar also opens each category's articles directly. See Windows and Layout.

Click "Search" in the sidebar or choose "Edit > Search Articles…" (⌘F). Pressing ⌘F switches to Search and puts the cursor in the search field.

  • The search field is in the window toolbar, with the placeholder "Search articles".
  • You can search article titles and body text; the search starts automatically as you type.
  • Results are listed as article cards. Click one to open it in the reader pane.

Before you type​

When the search field is empty, you'll see:

  • Recent Searches — keywords you searched recently (up to 10). Click one to search again. Click the × next to an entry to delete it, or use "Clear All" to delete them all at once.
  • Browse by Category — start browsing from a category instead.

When nothing is found or search is unavailable​

  • If nothing matches, "No results" appears. Try different or shorter keywords.
  • Search needs an internet connection. When you're offline, a message says that search isn't available; check your connection and try again.
