Ctrl Deck V1.8 — Your Windows workspace, organized around you. Ctrl Deck is a visual application launcher, workspace manager and keyboard shortcut tool for Windows 10 and 11. It brings your apps, files, folders, websites and active windows into one customizable control panel, helping you spend less time navigating menus, searching for resources or rebuilding your working environment. Whether you work on a single screen or across multiple monitors, Ctrl Deck lets you organize daily tasks by project, activity or personal preference. **KEY FEATURES** • **Favorites** — Pin frequently used applications, groups and Workspaces for faster access. The Favorites system is a major addition in V1.8. • **Workspaces** — Create dedicated, reusable environments with the applications, documents, folders and websites you need. Capture a useful working setup and reopen it instead of reconstructing it manually. • **Live Spaces** — Work with your current desktop environment, keep track of active applications and return to windows that are already open. Turn useful working contexts into permanent Workspaces. • **Smart application and window management** — Detect installed applications and identify running windows. When appropriate, bring an existing window to the front instead of opening an unnecessary duplicate. • **Keyboard shortcuts** — Assign shortcuts to resources and actions, with conflict detection to help identify overlapping combinations. • **Visual or keyboard-first control** — Use the customizable panel as your central hub, show it only when needed, or operate primarily through keyboard shortcuts. • **Drag and drop** — Add, arrange and manage resources directly through the interface. **WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 1.8?** Version 1.8 builds on the Workspaces and Live Spaces introduced in earlier releases, with significant refinements rather than presenting these existing features as brand-new. Highlights include: • New Favorites system for applications, groups and Workspaces. • Clearer shortcut setup and improved conflict detection. • Better application discovery and handling of already-open windows. • Usability improvements for Workspaces, Live Spaces and resource management. • Refined interface, contextual actions and license-status information. • Expanded localization: 10 languages, now including Japanese, Korean and Hindi. • A more detailed Quick Start guide with annotated screenshots and video demonstrations. • General stability, reliability and performance optimizations. • Full-feature trial extended from 7 to 14 days. **WHO IS IT FOR?** Ctrl Deck is useful for developers managing multiple tools and projects, designers organizing creative resources, office professionals switching between recurring tasks, students keeping study materials together, and anyone who wants a cleaner Windows workflow. **A FLEXIBLE WAY TO WORK** Ctrl Deck combines fast launching, resource organization, workspace management and window control in one application. You can keep the panel visible when you want an overview or rely on shortcuts when you prefer an unobtrusive workflow. **TRY BEFORE YOU BUY** Explore all features during a 14-day full-feature trial. The full version is available with a one-time license purchase, with no recurring subscription. **SAFE, DIRECT DISTRIBUTION** Developed by independent French software publisher COMBOX, Ctrl Deck is available from the Microsoft Store and the official website as a digitally signed Windows installer. No adware, bundled third-party software or unwanted toolbars. Less searching. Fewer repetitive actions. More control over your Windows workspace.

Ctrl Deck V1.7: one-click work-context capture, a new APPS section and major Workspace improvements
Ctrl Deck V1.7 is the biggest release of the Windows productivity tool so far. It goes far beyond a traditional launcher by helping users organize, capture and reopen complete work contexts in seconds. The headline feature is one-click capture of an already open work environment. Ctrl Deck can identify compatible applications, files, folders and web links currently in use, collect them into a reusable context, and let the user reopen that set of resources later without searching for everything again. V1.7 also introduces a new APPS section that scans for useful installed software and Windows tools, includes integrated search, and makes it easy to add applications to groups or to new and existing Workspaces. The first-run experience has been redesigned with guided onboarding, selective import of desktop and taskbar shortcuts and Chrome links, plus suggested groups that remain fully editable. Drag and drop has also been strengthened across applications, files, folders, URLs and shortcuts. Workspaces are now more capable for projects, clients, routines and recurring activities. Live Spaces can be converted into permanent Workspaces, and optional keyboard shortcuts can be assigned to groups, applications and Workspaces. The visual panel can remain visible or be shown and hidden instantly. This release also improves migration, configuration import and export, resource organization and license visibility. Ctrl Deck remains a local, user-controlled application with no mandatory cloud account or subscription. The V1.7 installer is digitally signed through Microsoft Azure Artifact Signing and the application is also available on the Microsoft Store. A complete Quick Start video with subtitles in seven languages and an extensive FAQ are available. Launch offer: $11.30 / €9.90 until August 20.

Coming Very Soon: Ctrl Deck V1.7 — Advanced Tools for Pros and Everyday Users
Ctrl Deck is built for people who constantly move between applications, folders, files, URLs and everyday resources. The goal is not simply to launch an app, but to make the tools you use visible, organized and faster to reach. At first launch, V1.7 can analyze compatible application shortcuts already available on the desktop and taskbar. It suggests editable groups, while you keep full control: select an entire group, select only specific applications, ignore anything you do not need, then rename or reorganize groups later. Nothing is moved or changed in Windows. The new Apps Library helps you find compatible applications detected on your PC and place them where they are useful: as a single shortcut, in a group or in a Workspace. Search, drag and drop, application detection and repair tools help keep your setup usable when software is added or a shortcut target changes. Groups replace an increasingly dense shortcut layout with a clearer, stable panel: expand one group, collapse everything, open all groups, or search directly for an item. Workspaces can be built manually for a daily routine, project, client or task, or saved from a useful compatible work setup you already have open. Live Spaces add a practical continuity layer by helping reopen compatible items after an interruption. Keyboard shortcuts remain optional. They can be assigned to an item or a group, use safer combinations by default, and include redesigned conflict handling so an application’s own command can keep priority when needed. Ctrl Deck V1.7 is designed to help you search less, switch faster and work from an environment that matches the way you actually work. Videos and even a whole "Quick start" section will be able on the site.
