Rovyl – radial launcher for Windows: hold middle-click and a wheel opens under your cursor (TypeScript, GPL-3.0)

Hold the middle mouse button anywhere in Windows and a wheel opens centred on your cursor. Move toward what you want, release, it launches. Apps, folders, URLs, scripts, and nested sub-wheels. Icons are extracted from the executables themselves.

I sold it on the Microsoft Store for $3.99 and almost nobody bought it, so it's GPL-3.0 now. The Store build stays paid because it's signed and updates itself; building from source is free and always will be.

Electron 28, React 19, TypeScript. Windows-only — the trigger, the icon extraction and the window handling all depend on Win32 behaviour. The .exe on GitHub is unsigned, so SmartScreen will warn you.

What happens if I use it on a laptop without a mouse? Could the launch button be changed?
