Deck 2.1.0

Everything you need, one hotkey away

Deck 2.1 is a fast, local-first Windows launcher with powerful organization, search, widgets, themes, and a native plugin platform.

Instant keyboard access

Show or hide Deck with Ctrl+F12 by default, or assign your own global hotkey.

Smart, configurable search

Find shortcuts with exact, prefix, acronym, typo-tolerant, and ordered-character matching.

More than app shortcuts

Launch programs, scripts, documents, folders, URLs, elevated tools, and plugin actions.

Groups, dividers, and ordering

Build a clean workspace with custom groups, visual dividers, multi-select moves, and drag reordering.

Fast add workflows

Add items by drag-and-drop, the Deck menu, Manage Shortcuts, or an optional Explorer context command.

Themes down to each group

Choose coordinated light and dark presets, customize the full palette, fonts, transparency, and per-group colors.

Useful side widgets

Keep clocks, extra time zones, weather, and live system and Deck CPU/RAM graphs beside your shortcuts.

Native plugin platform

Extend Deck with trusted Win32 or Win64 plugins that provide clickable actions, search commands, and menu tools.

Flexible portable storage

Keep data in a local subfolder, beside the executable, or under your Windows AppData profile.

Local-first and account-free

Your shortcuts and settings stay on your PC. No Deck account or cloud sync is required.

Win32 and Win64 builds

Choose the 32-bit or 64-bit Deck build that matches your Windows system and plugins.

Multi-monitor aware

Deck follows the active display, respects taskbar boundaries, and scales its dialogs for each monitor.
