Customized Radial Styling

Shape​

Choose the shape of the Radial menu:

  • Circle — Classic radial menu
  • Squircle — Alternative menu style with a beautiful squircle shape (blend between a square and a circle)

Layout​

Menu Size
Adjust the overall size of the radial menu to fit your screen and usage style.

  • Small — Compact and space-efficient
  • Medium — Default balanced size
  • Large — Larger targets and improved visibility
  • Custom — Define your own size

Position at Cursor
Show the radial menu at your mouse pointer instead of the screen center for faster access.

Center Settings Icon
Show or hide the settings icon in the center of the radial menu.

Labels Below Icons
Display shortcut names beneath their icons for easier identification at a glance.

Visual Style​

Liquid Glass
Apply a Liquid Glass material to the menu, giving it a translucent, glass-like appearance that reflects the content behind it on macOS Tahoe or later.

Atmosphere
A beautiful background effect that sits behind the Radial menu. Blurs and subtly tints the content behind the menu, with configurable grain and an ambient glow effect. Draws focus to the menu without taking away what you were working on.

Animation Speed
Control how fast the menu opens and closes:

  • Slow — Smooth and deliberate
  • Normal — Default balanced speed
  • Fast — Snappy and quick
  • Instant — No animation

Accent Color on Hover
Use your system accent color to highlight hovered items instead of the default gray.

Desaturated Icons
Mute app and action icons to a grayscale style for a more uniform, minimal look.

Interaction​

Haptic Feedback
Enable tactile feedback when hovering over shortcuts (on supported trackpads).

Macro Customization​

Personalize your macros for clarity and quick recognition.

Names​

Give macros clear, descriptive names that help you remember what they do.

Good names:

  • "Export for Web"
  • "Open Work Apps"
  • "Email Signature"

Avoid:

  • Generic names like "Macro 1"
  • Vague names like "Thing"
  • Placeholder text like "asdf"

Icons​

Choose icons that visually represent each macro's purpose.

Icon sources:

  • App icons
  • System SF Symbols
  • Emojis
  • Custom images

Tips:

  • Use consistent icon styles within a menu
  • Choose recognizable, simple symbols
  • Avoid overly complex or detailed icons
  • Test visibility at the menu size you use
