Schematic — 8-way radial menu (not a product screenshot)

Why OrbitSpace

Layout by direction — not by key soup.

Eight sectors for half edges and quarter corners. Point where you want the window to go.

Non-activating HUD. Your current app stays frontmost while you aim and release.

Green target-edge highlight. Scroll to switch the destination screen, then place across displays.

Return to the center dead zone to clear the sector. No accidental snap if you never aimed.

How it works

1
Hold
Press and hold the hotkey (default: Control). A small radial menu appears under the pointer — without stealing focus.
2
Aim
Move over a sector to highlight it. On multiple displays, scroll to pick the target screen.
3
Snap
Release to place the frontmost window. Return to center to cancel and leave the window unchanged.

FAQ

What permissions does it need?

Accessibility is required to read and move windows. If permission is missing, OrbitSpace guides you — it should not crash silently.

Does it steal keyboard focus?

Design goal: no. The radial HUD is non-activating so your current app stays frontmost.

Which window gets laid out?

The frontmost window at the moment the menu appears (OrbitSpace itself is excluded).

Does it support multiple displays?

Yes. The target display can be highlighted with a green edge and switched with the scroll wheel during a session.

Is it on the Mac App Store?

No. OrbitSpace is self-distributed as a direct install only.

How do I download it?

Self-hosted DMG (versioned URL, currently v1.0.0): https://sparkle.akring.com/OrbitSpace/OrbitSpace-v1.0.0.dmg

Is it open source?

No. OrbitSpace is proprietary / closed source.

How much does it cost?

USD $2 buyout, including subsequent updates. Not a subscription.

Is it a full tiling window manager?

No. MVP is on-demand radial half/quarter layout — not automatic tiling like yabai or Amethyst.
