Sub-Menus · macOS
Organize with
nested menus.
As your menu grows, sub-menus keep it from becoming unwieldy. Group related shortcuts under a single item and expand them when you need them.

The problem
The more useful your menu gets,
the harder it becomes to use.
A radial menu with four items is fast and obvious. Add eight more and it starts to feel crowded. Add everything you actually want and the menu that was supposed to save time now costs it, because you are scanning through too many options to find the right one.
Sub-menus solve this without asking you to remove anything. You keep all your shortcuts. You just stop showing all of them at once.
How it works
One item in the main menu opens a whole menu of its own.
Instead of showing every shortcut on the main ring, you group related ones together. All your text formatting options become one item labeled "Format". All your export options become "Export". Click either one and a fresh circular menu opens with everything inside it.
Your main menu stays small and scannable. The details are always one click away, arranged in the same familiar circle, just one level in.
No slowdown
The extra level does not cost you any speed.
Click a sub-menu item and the nested menu opens immediately. Point at the shortcut you wish to run and click again. The action fires and both menus close. The whole interaction takes no longer than clicking a single item on a flat menu.
After a few uses, it becomes muscle memory. Your hand learns the two-step direction the same way it learns any other position in the menu.
