On a phone? Tap a file, then tap a key. In the app, the wheel opens wherever your cursor is.

Three keys, three wheels
One gesture for everything you do with files.
Each key opens a different wheel, and Swivel fills it with what makes sense for the file you're holding. Tap the same key again to see the next page.

⌃⌥space
No drag needed
Select files in Finder and press a shortcut. Pick from the wheel with your mouse or the arrow keys.
Supported formats
If it's on your Mac, Swivel speaks it.
Some formats use free helpers: ffmpeg for less common video and audio, and Apple's Pages, Keynote and Numbers for their own files and Office formats. Swivel tells you if one is missing.
Privacy
Your files never leave your Mac.
Online converters make you upload a copy, and with it your photos' locations, your documents' authors and everything in between. Swivel does all of the work on your own machine.

Upload-based converters
Your file sits on someone else's server. You have to trust how they store it and when they delete it.
