Other rings open on their own
OceanBreeze checks what you selected and which app is in front, then opens the ring that fits.
Text selected
Rewrite, fix spelling, shorten, translate, summarize, explain or draft a reply, in any app. Images and files get their own rings.
Apps ring
It fills itself with the eight apps you open most. Flick to bring one to the front, or to start it.
Developer ring
Explain code, fix an error, write a commit message, build a regex, format JSON. It opens in code editors and terminals.
Put tools where you want them
Settings is one window. These are the pages you will use most.

Common questions
What is OceanBreeze?
OceanBreeze is a radial menu for Windows 11. Hold Caps Lock and a ring of eight tools opens around your pointer. Point at one and let go to run it. With text selected, the ring fills with AI actions for that text.
What happens to Caps Lock?
Shift + Caps Lock turns capitals on and off, as before. If Caps Lock is already on, a tap turns it off. A short tap keeps the ring open; holding opens it until you let go.
Can I use another key?
Yes. Settings > Trigger takes another key, a mouse button, a pen button, a long press on a touchscreen or a controller button.
Does AI cost extra?
Not from us. With your own key you pay Anthropic, OpenAI, Google or Mistral for what you use. Models through Foundry Local or Ollama run on your PC and are free. Every tool that isn't an AI action works without either.
Do I need the internet?
No. The ring, its tools, dictation and models on your PC all work offline. Only AI actions that use a provider's key need a connection.
Is it a subscription?
No. $1.99 once, and new versions are free.
Which PCs does it run on?
Windows 11, version 21H2 or later, on Intel and AMD PCs (x64) and on Windows on Arm (ARM64). It doesn't run on Windows 10.
Why does Windows warn me the first time?
OceanBreeze is a small independent app that isn't code-signed yet, so Windows shows "Windows protected your PC". Choose More info, then Run anyway.
What does it send, and where?
Only what you select, only when you run an AI action, and only to the provider you picked for that tool. Clipboard history, notes, chats and settings stay on your PC.
Does it work in games and admin apps?
The ring doesn't open over apps that run as administrator, because Windows blocks that. In full-screen games, borderless ones included, Caps Lock works as usual. To use the ring there, turn off Settings > Trigger > Ignore games in full screen.
How do I get new versions?
The itch app updates OceanBreeze for you. If you downloaded the zip, get the new one from the itch.io page and put it in place of the old folder. Your settings are kept.
