How it works

  1. 01 Hold to summon Hold ⌘1 and a radial glass wheel blooms over whatever you're presenting. No app to switch to, no window to hunt for.
  2. 02 Aim to choose Sweep toward the tool you want, spotlight, pen, timer, mute mic, and it lights up under your aim.
  3. 03 Release to fire Let go and the highlighted tool fires right where you're pointing. Esc puts it away when you're done.

Roadmap

  • Segmented radial wheel: hold ⌘1, aim, release to fire; click the nub to browse
  • 14 tools: cursor highlight (ring · laser · crosshair), spotlight, text highlighter, screen pen, color picker, whiteboard, calculator, timer, mute mic, show image, board, snippets, step stamper, clipboard
  • Left Rail: a persistent glass dock placement; ⌘1 toggles it open
  • Quick Capture: ⌘2 anytime; jotted lines land on the Board
  • Zero permission prompts: no Accessibility, no Screen Recording, ever
  • Capture invisibility (premium): the wheel and presenter aids are hidden from Zoom, Meet, and recordings
  • Native Liquid Glass on macOS 26 (Tahoe), a faithful glass recipe on 14–15
  • ⌘Z undo while drawing; strokes clear when you put the pen down
  • Notarized, sandboxed direct download: no account, no launcher
  • First-run onboarding: the resting nub teaches the hold, then retires
  • Premium unlock: v0.1 ships with premium features open
  • StoreKit paywall: the tools stay free, capture invisibility goes premium
  • Sparkle auto-updates
  • Tool reordering: arrange the wheel your way
  • fn as a trigger key
  • Multiple tools active at once
  • Per-app and per-deck tool presets
  • Magnifier (parked): it would cost the zero-permissions promise
