About Kando

Kando puts a circular pie menu on your screen when you press a shortcut. You move the pointer roughly in the direction of an item to pick it, so selections become muscle memory instead of hunting through menus or remembering key combinations. Items can open apps, files and folders, send keyboard shortcuts, run commands or chain several actions, and menus can nest into submenus. You can set up different menus for different apps, and restyle it with menu themes, icon sets and sound themes. It works with a mouse, pen, touchscreen or game controller, so it suits pen-tablet and touchscreen setups where a keyboard is out of reach. Kando is a hobby project by Simon Schneegans, the author of the older Gnome-Pie and Fly-Pie, and runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. It is completely free and open source, funded by donations, and keeps everything on your machine with no telemetry or cloud account. Unlike keyboard launchers such as Raycast or Alfred, there is no search box: you build the menus yourself.

Best for: Mouse, pen and touchscreen users who want fast gesture menus instead of keyboard shortcuts.
