Read the licenseAbout Orbit
Orbit is a menu bar app that shows your running apps in a ring around the cursor while you hold a modifier key, Option by default. You can pick an app with the mouse, Tab, the arrow keys, number keys or by typing the start of its name. Drag an app into the centre to quit it, or drag files in to AirDrop them, or keep holding them to send them to the Trash. It is for people who switch between many apps and want to do it with gestures and shortcuts.
Orbit needs macOS 14.6 or later and Accessibility permission for its global shortcut. AirDrop needs compatible devices with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on. The release is signed with a Developer ID and notarized. The README says everything is processed on the device. The license allows noncommercial use only.
