Description
Talos puts file actions right under your pointer on macOS. Hold Shift while dragging files in Finder, then drop onto Crop, Convert, Compress, Archive, or Organize. Arrange the wheel to fit your workflow, add actions from extensions. Convert images, video, audio, and PDFs without opening a separate app for each task. Requires macOS 27 or later.

Could you build this?
Partial The file conversion logic can use standard tools like FFmpeg and ImageMagick, but intercepting Finder drag-and-drop operations globally via modifier keys requires tricky macOS accessibility and event tapping.
What it would actually take: The core challenge lies in native macOS integration using `CGEventTap` to monitor global mouse and modifier key events (`Shift`), combined with Accessibility APIs to detect active Finder drag sessions. The UI requires a floating NSWindow with custom radial menus rendered over the mouse pointer that accepts drag events, extracts file URLs from the pasteboard, and triggers CLI-based processing pipelines. Maintaining reliability across macOS updates without tripping security sandbox blocks requires expert native macOS developers.
