Helix - Launch apps right at your cursor

by
Helix is a macOS launcher that appears exactly where you’re working. Press one hotkey, pick an app, and keep moving.

Hey everyone — I made Helix because I kept breaking focus while switching apps on my Mac. Search launchers are powerful, but for frequent app switching I wanted something faster and more spatial: hit one hotkey, get a radial launcher exactly at the cursor, and jump straight into the next app. Helix is built for people who live in multiple apps all day and want less dock hunting, less mouse travel, and less interruption. It’s free to try for 7 days, then a small lifetime unlock. I’d love feedback on three things: 1. whether the cursor-based placement feels instantly natural 2. which hotkey/workflow customizations you want next 3. whether you use it more for launching apps or switching between running apps
