Shortcuts or menus.
Every Mac app has dozens of commands. You can learn their shortcuts, ⌘⇧4, ⌥⌘D, ⌃⌘Q, until there are more than you can remember. Or you take your hand off the keyboard and search the menus. Launchers made finding things faster, but you still type the same words for things you do fifty times a day.
Directions are easier to remember.
Opie gives each action a direction. Hold a key and the Ring opens at your pointer. Flick toward an action and let go. After a few days, up and to the right is Dark Mode, and you stop looking. When you switch apps, the same key opens that app's Ring.
The idea comes from a game.
World of Warcraft players have used a ring add-on called OPie for years to reach dozens of abilities without looking away from the game. You hold a key, flick toward what you want and let go. Opie brings the same idea, and the name, to the Mac.
Built like a Mac app.
We want Opie to feel like part of macOS. It's written in Swift for macOS 26 and uses the system's Liquid Glass. Animations are short, and color shows only on the action you point at.
Your setup stays yours.
There's no account. Your Rings, scripts and files stay on your Mac, and your setup is one plain-text file you can read, keep in Git and copy to your next Mac.
