Kando is a cross-platform pie menu application for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets users launch apps, simulate keyboard shortcuts, open files, and run scripts via fast radial menus. It supports mouse, stylus, touch, controller, and keyboard input, with marking-menu gestures and extensive theming.
Use cases
- launch applications with a pie menu
- execute keyboard shortcuts via gestures
- open files and folders quickly
- create custom macro menus
- use a marking menu on linux and windows
- navigate nested menus with mouse gestures
When to choose
- you want a fast, customizable pie or marking menu across Windows, macOS, and Linux
- you launch apps, macros, or files frequently and want gesture-based selection
- you use mouse, stylus, touch, or controller input and value privacy-first software
When to avoid
- you need a traditional hierarchical start-menu-style launcher
- your Linux desktop environment is unsupported (e.g., Cosmic, Sway, Cinnamon Wayland)
- you need application switching, which Kando does not support
