What Is QuickWheel?

QuickWheel is a browser extension that uses a radial navigation wheel and mouse gestures to place frequent browser actions directly around your pointer.

Instead of shifting your cursor across high-resolution displays to click small tabs, buttons, or submenus, you execute actions through fast directional flicks.

Why a Radial Navigation Wheel?

Standard browser controls require pixel-precise movement to distant screen edges. In contrast, a radial menu positions every target at an identical, comfortable distance around your cursor.

Because selections rely on direction rather than coordinates, navigation quickly converts into instinctive muscle memory.
