A radial menu for designers who live in Figma and Photoshop

Your top eight apps, asset drag-to-open, and a meeting-mode profile — all on one flick. Built for people who spend the day with a mouse or stylus in hand.

The motion you lose every hour

Designers have their right hand on a mouse or tablet for most of the day. Every launch — Figma to Photoshop, Photoshop to Illustrator, Illustrator to Arc — is a round trip to the keyboard. Cmd+Space, type three letters, wait for the right result, hit Enter. For the top eight apps you open a hundred times a week, that motion adds up.

A radial menu is a different shape of interaction. Bind it to a mouse side button, and launching happens in the hand you already have down. No recall, no typing — just a direction.

Four layouts that cover a design week

Concrete wedge configurations that map to how designers actually work. Mix and match, or keep them as four separate profiles.

The main kit

The eight apps you open hundreds of times a week. Set this as your default profile.

  • 12 o'clock — Figma
  • 1:30 — Photoshop
  • 3:00 — Illustrator
  • 4:30 — Arc or Safari
  • 6:00 — Slack
  • 7:30 — Notion or Linear
  • 9:00 — CleanShot X
  • 10:30 — Loom or QuickTime

Asset handoff

Drag any file onto a wedge to open it with that wedge's app. No more "Open with…" submenu three right-clicks deep.

  • Drag onto Figma wedge — opens the file as a new Figma frame
  • Drag onto Photoshop wedge — opens as a .psd editor
  • Drag onto Preview wedge — quick-look alternate
  • Drag onto Slack wedge — drops the file into your last conversation
  • Drag onto Gmail wedge — new compose with the file attached

Meeting mode

Wi-Fi-office plus 9-to-5 hours loads this profile automatically. Zoom and Notion at the ready.

  • 12 o'clock — Zoom
  • 1:30 — Notion (meeting notes)
  • 3:00 — Slack
  • 4:30 — Mute / unmute (Apple Shortcut)
  • 6:00 — CleanShot X (screen share prep)
  • 7:30 — Calendar
  • 9:00 — Figma (design review)
  • 10:30 — Raise hand (Apple Shortcut)

Capture and paste

The clipboard ring keeps your last eight text clips one flick away. Handy for hex codes, Figma component names, and copy-paste-rename loops.

  • Clipboard wedge — eight recent clips, one flick each
  • Emoji wedge — Slack reactions and doc annotations
  • Insert-text wedge — stock reply templates, URLs, email signatures
  • Shortcut wedge — run "Export selected Figma frames as PNG"

Built-in features that matter for design work

Drag any file onto a wedge

The wedge's assigned app opens the file. No right-click, no "Open with…" menu hunt. Particularly useful for .psd, .ai, .svg, and .fig files that Finder keeps trying to open in Preview.

Context-aware profiles

Your office Wi-Fi loads the work stack. Your home network loads the personal stack. External display connected? A layout sized for two screens. Zero manual switching.

Apple Shortcuts on a wedge

Any Apple Shortcut becomes a wedge. Export assets, toggle Do Not Disturb, open a specific Figma file, start a CleanShot recording — one gesture each.

Clipboard ring and emoji picker

Last eight clips on a sub-menu. Six-category emoji picker with a recents ring. Both paste via Cmd+V, so they work inside Figma, Slack, Notion, and everywhere else.

Mouse side button or hotkey

Trigger from your mouse's side button (no hand travel) or from a keyboard hotkey, or both. Karabiner and Hyperkey users can bind it to Caps Lock.

Nested sub-menus

A wedge can open another radial menu. Group your browser tabs, your Figma files, or your Apple Shortcuts without running out of top-level slots.

Frequently asked questions

Does Swik integrate with Figma or Photoshop?

Not with a purpose-built plugin, and it doesn't need to. Swik launches Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator, or any other app on a wedge. It also lets you drag any file onto a wedge to open it with the app assigned to that wedge. For deeper workflows — "export assets", "open the last Figma file", "paste as PNG" — you wire an Apple Shortcut to a wedge.

Is Swik worth it if I already use Raycast or Alfred?

If most of your day is spent with a mouse or stylus in hand, yes. Typed launchers are only fast when your hands are already on the keyboard. Designers spend hours at the mouse — a radial menu on a mouse side button means you never move your hand to launch your next app. Many designers run both.

Can I have one layout for work and another for personal projects?

Yes. Swik's context-aware profiles switch your layout based on Wi-Fi network, whether an external display is connected, or time of day. Office Wi-Fi gets your design stack. Home Wi-Fi gets your personal tools. Meeting hours get Zoom, Notion, and CleanShot.

How many wedges do I get on the free tier?

Five on the free tier, which is enough to try the workflow. Pro is $9 one-time and unlocks unlimited wedges, unlimited profiles, Apple Shortcuts integration, and all themes. There is no subscription.
