StarPie

Project Overview

StarPie is a lightweight radial pie menu efficiency tool for Windows 10/11. It can be triggered by mouse right/middle/side button or keyboard hotkey, and also supports standalone trail gestures to directly execute actions. The current version supports 4/8/12-sector wheels, multi-level sub-actions, per-app profiles, window management and tiling, screen OCR, hotkey recording, URL/command scheduling, and more complete visual customization.

Design highlights: Built with native C# WPF, no browser kernel bundled, background memory kept lightweight (typically ~15-30 MB idle); based on Win32 WH_MOUSE_LL low-level event stream for fast response without affecting normal right-click; provides a standalone single-file version (with .NET runtime built in, extract and run), with configuration saved locally in config.json.

Key Features

• Wheel interaction: 4/8/12 sectors, center core actions, multi-level sub-wheels, honeycomb sectors, and flick-to-cancel
• Trail gestures: Up to 3 segments, 8-direction combinations, trail overlay, segment sensitivity and release prompts
• Actions & windows: Hotkeys, programs, URLs, folders, commands, system controls, plus window switching, tiling, cross-screen, always-on-top, and transparency
• Screen OCR: Windows local offline recognition, AI vision interface, and custom HTTP OCR
• Configuration experience: Two-column focused editing, live wheel canvas, sector drag-to-reorder, running window capture, and compact overview list
• Appearance customization: Multiple wheel shapes, independent primary/secondary themes, per-sector font/icon/text position overrides, and screen edge adaptation
