Glass that fits in

The ring uses the same translucent material as macOS, and respects Reduce Transparency and Increase Contrast.

You feel it open

A light tap on the trackpad when the ring appears, and another as you move across each action. Both can be turned off.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

When does HoldRing launch?

Soon. Join the waitlist and you'll get one email the day it's available, with the download link and your $9.99 waitlist price.

How is it different from other mouse-gesture apps?

Most gesture apps make you memorize strokes. HoldRing shows a ring of labeled actions right under your pointer, so you see every option before you pick it.

Will it get in the way of normal clicks?

No. A quick click is just a click. The ring only opens when you hold still for a moment. Double-clicks and clicks with ⌘, ⌥, ⌃ or ⇧ always pass through.

Why does it need Accessibility permission?

To notice when you hold the click and to act on the app in front: pasting, moving a window, sending a shortcut. macOS asks for this once.

Does it work with a mouse?

Yes. Hold the main button on a mouse or the trackpad. On a Force Touch trackpad you can also open the ring with a firm press instead. Haptics need a trackpad.

Does HoldRing collect my data?

No. The app runs entirely on your Mac and doesn't send anything anywhere. This website only stores your email if you join the waitlist.

Which Macs are supported?

Any Mac running macOS 26 or later.

Can I pause it?

Yes. Click the HoldRing icon in the menu bar and flip the switch. Clicks go back to normal until you turn it on again.

Ready when you hold.

HoldRing is almost here. Join the waitlist and get it for $9.99 at launch, instead of $14.99.
