Meet Orbiq — a lightweight 3D radial launcher for Windows that replaces the Start menu.
The Start menu is a flat, crowded list. Orbiq is a spinning 3D dial you summon with a hotkey: one click to launch, one click to dismiss. Apps orbit the nucleus at a glance, so your most-used tools are one rotation away.
What it does
- Summon with a hotkey — a 3D wheel fades in over your desktop, no alt-tabbing.
- Drag to add — drop any shortcut or app into the nucleus to build your own wheel.
- Multiple wheels — save a context wheel per project (dev, media, work) and swap instantly.
- Any icon — replace any app's icon with any PNG you like.
- Zero bloat — light install, no tracking, no telemetry, one-step uninstall.
Built for people who hate the Start menu
Orbiq is small on purpose: no account, no cloud, no ads. It's a native Windows app that stays out of the way until you need it, then gets out of the way the moment you're done.
Try it
Feedback welcome — especially on the 3D motion. I'm tuning the dial feel and would love to know how it feels on your machine.
Built with a custom WebGL dial renderer and a native Windows shell. Source is open, issues and PRs are welcome.
Orbiq — orbit your apps.
