Hey everyone 👋 I’m Deniz, the creator of Powering. I built this because I was tired of breaking flow. Spotlight is great. The Dock is fine. But neither feels designed for the way we actually work today, especially with scripts, automations, AI tools, and dev workflows scattered everywhere. I wanted something spatial. Something I could build muscle memory around. So Powering became a radial command wheel I can summon instantly with a keyboard shortcut. Now I launch apps, run shortcuts, deploy scripts, and even manage long-running terminal commands without context switching. One thing I’m especially excited about: you can run persistent terminal sessions directly from the wheel and monitor them in a panel, which makes it surprisingly powerful for dev workflows and AI orchestration. This is v1.0, and I’m shipping it as an independent maker. Would genuinely love your feedback, especially how you’d use it in your workflow. Also… I’m building something around community-made scripts, shared command packs, and deeper customization inside Powering. If that sounds interesting, would you want to be notified when it goes live? :) Join the Discord 👉 https://discord.gg/mZS7mJgehN Thanks for checking it out 🙏

sounds great, but interested the landing page has no "How does Powering work" etc etc?

@adam_wells2 Thank you for your feedback Adam. Yes, it is quite minimal for now but I will be looking into it pretty soon!

how does your app differ from https://www.loopty.app ?

@khomaldi It is more of a power tool rather than a mere app launcher. You can define any terminal command and even automate complex long running operations. Once defined, you can access those and run with persistent terminal sessions.

@khomaldi  @thednzozcan Do the persistent terminal sessions survive a reboot, or are they tied to the app process? That distinction matters when you've got watchers, local servers, and build processes running all day. Most radial launchers stop at app switching and shortcut triggers. Powering defining arbitrary terminal commands and monitoring them from a panel turns it into something closer to a tmux frontend with spatial memory. If session state persists across restarts and you can group related commands into a single wheel segment, that covers the orchestration gap Raycast and Alfred still punt to the terminal.

@khomaldi  @piroune_balachandran They're currently tied to the app's lifecycle. I have been thinking of ways to achieve what you described, in a lean interface, and I'm about to bring together a roadmap around it. Is there a specific workflow you could share? It would help a lot.

Cool idea, a lot of how we interact with our computers hasn't changed in a long time (clicking around to open things, searching for apps you use regularly). How long did it take for you to get the hang of using it?
