Questions
Why does it need Accessibility access?
To paste your clipboard picks into the app you were using, snap windows, and use a mouse button as the trigger. Loadwheel never records what you type.
Can I change the shortcut?
Yes. Open Settings from the ◎ in the menu bar and pick another shortcut, or set a spare mouse button to open the ring.
Does it work with Spotify and Apple Music?
Both. macOS asks once whether Loadwheel can control them. Choose Allow to see what's playing in the centre.
Do I need the internet?
No. Everything works offline. It only goes online to check your licence key and to fetch exchange rates for currency conversions.
What happens when the trial ends?
The ring still opens, but picking a tool asks for a licence key. Your settings, notes and to-dos stay put.
Is it a subscription?
No. £5 once, and updates to Loadwheel 1 are free.
Which Macs does it run on?
Any Mac with macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Apple silicon or Intel.
Can I use it on more than one Mac?
Yes, up to 3 of your own Macs. To move a licence, open Settings, then Licence, and choose Deactivate this Mac.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Email support@loadwheel.com within 14 days of buying for a full refund.
Does Loadwheel collect my data?
No. There's no tracking or analytics. Read the privacy policy.
