Pie Menu – a radial menu for macOS

In plain words

Pie Menu is a radial menu application for macOS that displays customizable commands and keyboard shortcuts around your cursor when triggered by a hotkey. The menu adapts to whichever application is currently active, helping users quickly access commands without memorizing complex shortcuts. It includes preprogrammed commands for popular apps and allows users to add any application or create custom shortcuts. A database of shortcuts for various programs is available on the developer's website.

From the sources

The radial menu for Mac tailored to your active app. Speed up all your favorite programs with only one shortcut!

Whether you're in Figma, Slack or Things, you'll be able to access your most used shortcuts by only remembering one command. One of the best inventions for Macs so far. Customizable shortcuts which can be triggered around the mouse coursor make my life so much easier. Must have for all Mac users! It is growing on me as I figure out how to get more apps to work with it! Pie-menu is a clever way to access menu shortcuts for those of us who can’t remember a miriad of shortcuts. I quite like it! I'm not great at remembering shortcuts so this is quite handy, especially for apps that I use less frequently Studies show using a mouse instead of keyboard shortcuts wastes 2 seconds per minute.

  Hey Hacker News The ones that know me here know that I am a productivity geek. After DockFlow to manage my Dock and ExtraDock, which gives me more space to manage my apps and files, I decided to tackle the macOS big boss: the menu bar. I spend ~40% of my day context-switching between apps — Zoom meetings, Slack channels, Code projects, and Figma designs. My macOS menu bar has too many useless icons I almost never use. So I thought to myself, how can I use this area to improve my workflows? Most solutions (Bartender, Ice) require screen recording permissions, and did not really solve my…

  Talanoa▲340

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  InstantDB – A Modern Firebase▲1,145

  Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again. If you want to deliver a buttery smooth user experience, you’ll need to add optimistic updates and rollbacks. We do these steps over and over for every feature we build, which can…
