Radial is a pie-menu launcher for macOS that appears right at your cursor. Open apps, insert text snippets, trigger workflows, run scripts, and more with a single gesture. No memorising shortcuts. No breaking your flow.
Hey everyone, Gustav here, the developer behind Radial.
4.0 is by far Radial's biggest update to date, and honestly the one I am most proud of. A lot of this has been requested countless times since the very first release, and it has taken a long time to get right.
The two most requested features since launch were sub-menus and the menu switcher, and both are finally here. Sub-menus solves one of the most common complaints: nine shortcuts per menu was simply not enough, but we're happy to say that you can now create sub-menus inside any menu to fit more shortcuts with better organisation.
Then there's the menu switcher which solves another core problem: Contextual menus switch automatically based on your active app, but there was no way to manually access another menu without changing apps, or even any way to access your global shortcuts. Now you can simply scroll up on your mouse or trackpad with any Radial menu open to see a list of all your menus and switch between them instantly. You can also configure a keybinding to jump to a specific menu with one click. On top of that, menus now come in three types: Global menus that appear across the whole system, Contextual menus that appear automatically in specific apps, and Custom menus you open manually from the switcher. Contextual menus can also now have multiple associated apps.
The community side of Radial got a big upgrade too. In 3.0 you could share and install full menus from the community. In 4.0 you can also publish and install individual shortcuts and add them directly to your existing menus without replacing what you already have. The new Discover page inside the app makes finding and installing community shortcuts and menus fast and easy.
Furthermore, new actions have been added that expand what is possible inside a macro. These include system controls, notifications, clipboard actions, Keyboard Maestro integration, and visual effects. New trigger methods have also been added including hot corners, shake to reveal, and mouse triggers, with modifier keys and keyboard shortcuts now being able to be used interchangeable.
You can also import and export shortcuts and menus as JSON for transferring setups between devices and creating backups. Moving and duplicating shortcuts between menus is now supported too.
On the visual side, 4.0 introduces a beautiful new Liquid Glass UI design and a completely redesigned interface and onboarding experience that is more intuitive and more polished throughout. Smaller additions include a setting for desaturated icons with colour on hover, favourite menus that appear at the top of the switcher, and custom icons now saved locally so they persist even if the original file moves.
And a ton of stability and performance bug fixes on top of all of that.

I have to say that I'm really impressed with this.
I've used a couple of other radial menus in the past and found that Radial is far more powerful than expected. I can easily see this fitting into and in some areas hugely improving the way I do things on a daily basis, even in ways that I didn't consider until I started playing around with the app.
Other solutions sometimes felt like they were getting in the way a bit - I could feel the overhead, etc. whereas Radial seems far snappier, yet more capable in every way.
Well done!
Quick questions:
Can I edit the recorded steps manually?
Do gestures require precise movements, or is there smart recognition for sloppy swipes?
Can macros interact with any macOS app?
Haha, nice tool! Btw do you see Radial as a replacement for keyboard shortcuts?
