Savage Impulse Kyklos
Radial launcher for Windows
A radial launcher for Windows.
Click your trigger, a ring snaps open under the cursor.
For Windows power users who live in the keyboard.
What it does
Kyklos puts a six-wedge ring at the cursor whenever you click a trigger button. Each wedge can launch an app, open a URL, send a hotkey, insert a snippet, run a command, or open a nested ring. Multiple rings, routed by foreground app. Themes, sounds, and triggers all configurable. Windows tray app, $14.99 one-time, no account, no cloud.
How it works
Click your trigger. A ring snaps open under the cursor. Six wedges you chose. Hit one to launch an app, open a URL, send a hotkey, or dive into a nested ring. No travel, no Start menu, no tab-hunting. Your hand never leaves the pointer.
Six things a wedge can do
Any .exe, shortcut, or Microsoft Store app. Arguments and working directory supported.
Default browser, protocol handler, or anything Windows routes.
Comma-separated chord chains. One wedge can fire ctrl+shift+t, ctrl+l in sequence.
A reusable block of text, pasted through the clipboard. Kyklos restores your original clipboard after.
cmd.exe /c with a hidden window. Bat files, scripts, shell one-liners.
A wedge that opens another ring. Drill as deep as you need, right-click to step back one level.
Configurable
Different ring for different work.
Build separate rings for the browser, the editor, the games. Kyklos reads the foreground process and opens the matching ring automatically. The one called Main ring fires everywhere else, so there's always a fallback. Map as many apps as you want, switch the routing in Settings without rebuilding the wedges.
Dark or light. Glass or Mica. Your accent.
Two themes, two backdrop styles (Glass Circle or Mica Card), a colour picker for the accent, and sliders for the ring's outer and inner radius. Full-colour app icons or clean monochrome glyphs, picked per ring. The ring you see every day should look the way you want it, not the way a default theme decided.
Feedback that doesn't get in the way.
Three sound channels: activation when the ring opens, hover as you slide across wedges, selection when you commit. Each has a volume slider and accepts a custom .wav file. Or leave them blank and Kyklos generates its own at 520Hz, 1760Hz, and 880Hz. Turn the whole lot off with one toggle.
Whichever button you reach for.
Side-button 1, side-button 2, middle-click. Bind whichever button your mouse already has, or whichever you'd reach for next. Hold to preview and release to fire, or click once to open and click again to commit. Kyklos works with the mouse on the desk, not a specific model.
