Invoke is a cursor-first radial menu for macOS. Press or hold a shortcut to open a customizable menu beside your pointer, then launch apps, open folders, paste text, trigger shortcuts, run Apple Shortcuts, or use built-in tools like clipboard history and a color picker. Unlike traditional launchers, Invoke can automatically switch menus based on the app you are using, so the actions around your cursor always stay relevant—without making you memorize more keyboard shortcuts.

I made Invoke because I was constantly jumping between menus, shortcuts, apps, folders, and tiny repeated actions. I wanted the things I use every day to appear right beside the cursor—without memorizing even more keyboard shortcuts.

I’d love to know: what is one repetitive Mac action you would put in a radial menu?
Really digging the context switching between apps, that's a smart touch. One thing that would make it even better for me would be a quick preview when hovering over an item, like showing the contents of a folder or a snippet of clipboard history before actually launching it. Would save a few extra clicks throughout the day.
Finally gave Invoke a spin on my Mac and the context-aware menus caught me off guard, swapping to relevant options when I jumped into Figma was genuinely handy.
