As answered by people managing CodeinCloud and Orbital for macOS.
Orbital for macOS's answer:
Orbital is the only Mac launcher built mouse-first. Instead of a command palette in the middle of the screen, a middle click opens a radial dial at the cursor with six sections: pinned apps, open windows, clipboard history, saved workspaces, recent files, and system actions. One flick of the mouse launches, switches, or snaps — jobs that normally need three or four separate utilities. It requires a single Accessibility permission, no account, and collects no analytics.
Orbital for macOS's answer:
Raycast, Alfred, and LaunchBar are keyboard command palettes — excellent when your hands are typing, but most Mac time is spent with one hand on the mouse. Orbital puts launching, window switching, layout restore, and clipboard history one middle click away, exactly where the cursor already is. Compared with radial tools like Charmstone, it goes further than app switching: it snaps windows, restores complete window setups, and keeps an encrypted on-device clipboard history. And it's a €9.99 one-time purchase with a 7-day trial — not a subscription.
Orbital for macOS's answer:
Mac users whose hand lives on the mouse or trackpad: designers, developers, and anyone juggling many windows and apps through the day. It also fits people who find keyboard launchers powerful in theory but never built the shortcut muscle memory — and privacy-conscious users who want a native tool with no account and no telemetry.
Orbital for macOS's answer:
Orbital is built by a solo developer in Munich who noticed that every Mac launcher assumes your hands are on the keyboard — and his mostly weren't. A cursor commutes surprisingly far every day between the Dock, the menu bar, and windows, so he built the opposite of a command palette: a dial that comes to the cursor. It shipped in 2026 as a native Swift app, sold directly with a one-time license.
Orbital for macOS's answer:
Native Swift throughout — AppKit and Core Animation for the dial overlay (p95 open latency around 3 ms), SwiftUI for settings and onboarding, macOS Accessibility APIs for window management, CryptoKit (AES-GCM) for on-device clipboard encryption, and Sparkle 2 for delta updates. Signed, notarized, universal binary for Apple silicon and Intel.
