The MacBook Pro with the PROLED XDR display has a touchscreen, and I wanted something on it that's made for a thumb rather than a mouse pointer. So I built Radial: press in the bottom corner of the screen and a dial of controls opens under your thumb. Slide to one and lift. Volume, the next song, brightness, Night Shift, Dark Mode, your apps, your Shortcuts. The short video on the site shows the whole idea in ten seconds. **What I cared about** Your hand rests beside the Mac and only your thumb moves Each action's target reaches past the edge of the dial, so you slide in a direction and lift. You don't have to land on the icon One gesture goes deep: sliders on the rim for volume and brightness, and wedges that open other dials, without lifting your thumb A dial for each app, so the controls change with the app in front **No touchscreen?** On any other Mac, hold ⌘, ⌥ or ⌃ and move the pointer, and the dial opens right there (turn on *Open with a held key* in Settings → Behaviour). Let go of the key to choose. It's a native Mac app, macOS 26 or later. €9 once for up to 3 Macs, and the first 50 buyers pay €5. There's no trial, but there's a 3-day money-back guarantee. https://heyradial.com This is the first time it's out in the world, so I'd really like honest feedback: Does the site make it clear what it does? If you don't have a touchscreen, does the held key make sense, or does it feel like an afterthought? Anything on the site or in the first minutes of the app that confused you?   submitted by   /u/rEverywhere [link]   [comments]
