Orbs
Radial launcher for Windows — hold a hotkey, launch anything
Orbs is a radial launcher for Windows. Hold Ctrl+Space and a wheel of your apps, shortcuts, and system actions appears around your cursor. Nested folders 3 levels deep, quick-key shortcuts, a built-in calculator, and full customization. Free, open source.
I built Orbs because I wanted a macOS-style radial launcher, but for Windows, and couldn't find one that felt fast and unobtrusive enough. Hold Ctrl+Space, a wheel appears around your cursor, hover to an action, release to fire it.
A couple things I'm proud of under the hood: the whole wheel — including nested folders that expand into their own ring — is hand-built with raw SVG and polar coordinate math, no canvas library. Folders nest 3 levels deep, and any item anywhere in the tree can get a quick-key, so you can skip hovering entirely once you know your setup.
Heads up: it's an unsigned build right now, so Windows SmartScreen will warn on first run — click "More info → Run anyway". Getting it signed is next on my list.
Would love feedback, bug reports, or feature requests — I'm building this solo and will be around all day.
