Hi everyone! I'm Marius Hauken, an indie developer, and I'm excited to share my app: Pie Menu. It offers a fresh way to access your favorite menu bar commands and keyboard shortcuts on macOS.

This allows you to quickly select commands without having to remember complex shortcuts across different applications.

ExtraBar▲152Hey Hacker News The ones that know me here know that I am a productivity geek.
