    From the README

    ๐ŸŒธ Kando is a cross-platform pie menu for your desktop. It offers an unconventional, fast, highly efficient, and fun way of interacting with your computer! You can use Kando to launch applications, simulate keyboard shortcuts, open files, and much more.

    Kando is designed to be used with ๐Ÿ–ฑ๏ธ mouse, ๐Ÿ–Š๏ธ stylus, ๐Ÿ‘† touch, or ๐ŸŽฎ controller input. If you have both hands at your keyboard most of the time, Kando is maybe not the right tool for you.

    You are welcome to join the ๐Ÿ’ฌ Discord server to discuss the project, ask questions, or just to hang out with other Kando enthusiasts!

    Kando runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. On Linux, most desktop environments are supported, however some require additional configuration. Have a look at the installation guide for more information.

    There are several ways to install Kando, depending on your operating system and preferences. If you want to install the latest release, you can read the respective instructions for Windows, macOS, or Linux.

    You can also build Kando from source. This is only required if you want to contribute to the project or if you want to use the latest features that are not yet released.
