Everyone Should Try a Slice of Pie Menu

• Jonathan

The search for interesting Mac utilities is an endless quest. Lots of apps are innovative or cleverly made, but only occasionally do I come across one that jumps out at me. I’ve made a list of some of my previous picks, but the latest app to impress me is Pie Menu.

Pie Menu has a simple yet effective function: trigger a keyboard shortcut, and around your cursor will appear a pie-chart-like graphic with a different icon in each section. Click on one, and it will trigger a key combination. The twist here is that, in addition to being able to assign whatever key combination you want with a wide range of icons, you can also create a different ‘pie’ per app.
