QTool

Summon a frosted-glass wheel of your actions — anywhere, over any app. Flick toward one and release, or just start typing. Apps, scripts, snippets, window snaps and your open browser tabs — one gesture away.

QTool's radial wheel in action — summoned at the cursor, touring categories, the switcher, providers and drilling in.
A radial quick-actions wheel — summoned at your cursor, gone the moment you're done.
How it works

One gesture. Everything you do.

QTool floats a wheel of your actions at the cursor and gets out of the way. Reach for what you want by flick, by key, or by typing — then it vanishes.

01

Summon anywhere

⌥Space opens it at your cursor, over any app — or use the menu-bar icon or an optional hot corner. No Dock icon, no window to manage.

02

Flick & release

Selection is direction-based: flick toward a segment and let go. Haptic ticks confirm the pick — and it works even past the wheel's edge.

03

Fully keyboard

1–9 fire segments, arrows rotate, Return fires, ⌫ steps back. Everything is reachable without a mouse.

04

Type to search

Just start typing — the hub becomes a fuzzy search across every action and your open browser tabs. Frecency floats what you use most.

05

Actions of every kind

Launch apps, run shell scripts and macOS Shortcuts, open URLs, fire keystrokes. Drop a script in a folder and it becomes an action — no rebuild.

06

Native & private

A signed, notarized menu-bar app — ~33 MB, ~0.1% idle CPU. No account, no telemetry; your whole config is a local JSON file.

Two tools in one wheel

A launcher and a switcher.

A Launch

Fire any action

Build categories of the things you do, each an SF Symbol and a tint. QTool learns your habits and floats a Frequent ring first.

  • › Apps, URLs & files — open in a flick
  • › Shell scripts & Shortcuts — with context passed in
  • › Clipboard transforms — JSON, base64, case, slugify
  • › Window snapping — halves, quarters, maximize
B Switch

Apps → windows → tabs

The same wheel is a switcher with three levels — pick an app, drill into its window carousel with live thumbnails, then into its tabs.

  • › Every Space — windows the Dock can't reach
  • › Browser & native tabs — Chrome, Safari, Finder…
  • › Type “gmail” to jump straight to the tab
  • › ⌥Tab for a dedicated app switcher
Dynamic categories

The wheel reads the moment.

Beyond your own categories, providers add live actions built from what you're doing right now — the frontmost app, the clipboard, the current tab.

  • +Here & Now — open the clipboard, reveal the current file, jump to your last app's tabs
  • +Toggles & Media — Dark Mode, Wi-Fi, Keep Awake; play/pause, volume, next
  • +Clipboard history — recent copies, password entries never recorded
  • +My Scripts & Shortcuts — your automations, cached so the wheel never waits
  • +Recent Files — the documents you touched lately, any app, one click to reopen
Here & Now QTool summoned over a Google Doc, its Here & Now category offering Save Doc as PDF, Save as Word and Save as Markdown.
Over a Google Doc — the wheel offers Save as PDF, Word or Markdown, right where you are.
See it work

Every level, one wheel.

Type to search across your actions and open tabs, switch between windows with live thumbnails, or fan everything out as a list — the ring stays live the whole time.

Search Typing in QTool's hub turns it into a fuzzy search; the ring reflows to matching actions.

Switcher QTool's window carousel: live window thumbnails around the wheel with the hovered one in a center porthole, and a 4-tabs pill.
Apps → windows → tabs — live thumbnails, every Space.
List view QTool's flyout list beside the live wheel, listing browser tabs; hovering a row highlights its wedge.
List view — every item at this level, beside the live ring.
Make it yours

Skin it. Fill it. Wire it up.

Every wedge, tint and material is yours to set. Swap the glass for opaque metal or a bold color, build your own categories, and toggle the live providers on or off.

Providers — the live categories, on your terms.
Specification

Native, signed, universal.

A direct download, not the Mac App Store. Every copy is signed and notarized by Apple, so it installs cleanly with no security warnings — and QTool runs quietly from the menu bar with no Dock icon.
