What is it?

LumaRing is a macOS utility that brings up a small radial ring menu so you can jump between apps, individual windows, and browser tabs without reaching for the Dock or Cmd+Tab. It lives in the menu bar and is built natively in Swift on AppKit, keeping the download around 2.9 MB.

Beyond switching, the ring can also trigger shortcuts tied to specific applications, so frequently used actions are one gesture away. The project targets macOS 14 and later and runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

It is distributed through a Homebrew cask or as a direct download from GitHub Releases, and the source is MIT licensed.
