- Mac users handling mixed file formats
- Worth noticing
- The wheel adapts its available actions to the selected files; a keyboard shortcut also opens it for Finder selections.
Field notes
The wheel changes its available slices according to the files being dragged, and the site gives separate modifier keys for conversion, tools, and actions. Listed operations range from trimming and merging audio or video to extracting PDF pages, handling archives, and opening Terminal at a file location. A one-time license is listed at €6.99; the site says activation and periodic license checks require internet access.
