The idea

Hold Space, tap a letter, and the app opens. Tap it again and it is gone. Tap Space on its own and it still types a space.

01 · The ring

Your apps, under the mouse.

Hold the middle mouse button, drift towards an app and let go. This website's own menu works the same way: hold Space.

02 · Touchpad edges

Edges become sliders.

One finger along the edge of the touchpad sets brightness, volume or video position.

03 · Any key

Any app, website or folder.

Click a key, pick what it opens: every app on the PC, a link, a file or a folder.

04 · Screen edges

The ring folds into an arc.

Near a screen edge, every app stays on screen, wherever you pressed.

How it is built

Native and light
Core

A system-wide keyboard hook

A Rust core watches the keyboard so Space can be a modifier without ever losing a typed space.

Reach

x64 and ARM64

Built for both kinds of Windows PC and published on the Microsoft Store, with macOS and Linux in beta.

Respect

No account, no ads

No sign-in, no adverts and no analytics in the app. It started in May 2026 as an AutoHotkey script for my own keyboard.
