Arcful

Hold.
Aim.
Act.

A spatial command layer for macOS. Your tools live on a ring around your pointer — hold a key, sweep to one, let go. It's already open.

The problem

Don’t spell it. Reach for it.

A launcher makes you recall a name for a tool your hands already know. Arcful puts that tool around your pointer: hold, aim, release.

Window management

The same ring places your windows.

Hold ⇧ ⌃ over a window and tap ⌘: the ring becomes your window placements. Sweep to one and release. The window goes there.

Point here, hold ⇧ ⌃Touch and hold to try it

Drag a title bar to move a window. The placement goes to the window you touched last. On a Mac the same ring also launches your apps — ⌘ flips between the two.

Context-aware slots

The same direction, ready for the app you’re in.

A slot can change with the app in front. Keep your writing tools and your coding tools in the same place on the ring, with the same gesture.

Keybinds

Sweep to a tool. Or press its key.

Sweep to a tool, or give it a key. Same ring, same slot. Use whichever your hands pick.

Make it yours

Arrange every ring exactly how you think.

Drag to reorder, swap icons, pick a tile color or none. Your ring should match your head, not someone else’s defaults.

Custom imagesBring your own artwork for any item.
Colored tilesYour colors, or no tile at all.

The same treatment applies to tools and window placements alike.
