**Ctrl Deck V1.8 — Take control of your Windows workspace**
Tired of switching between endless windows, searching for files, reopening the same applications or rebuilding your working environment every day?
Ctrl Deck is a Windows productivity application that brings your favorite apps, files, folders, websites and workspaces together in one customizable visual control panel.
Built by independent software publisher COMBOX, Ctrl Deck is designed to help you spend less time navigating Windows and more time getting things done.
**Everything you need, right where you need it**
- **Favorites:** Pin your most important apps, groups and Workspaces for instant access.
- **Workspaces:** Organize the tools and resources you need for different projects, clients or daily routines. Capture and reopen working environments without rebuilding everything manually.
- **Live Spaces:** Manage active working environments and easily return to windows you already have open.
- **Smart window management:** Detect running applications and bring existing windows to the foreground instead of launching unnecessary duplicates.
- **Powerful keyboard shortcuts:** Trigger actions instantly, with built-in shortcut conflict detection.
- **Visual or keyboard-first workflow:** Keep the control panel available, show it only when needed, or work primarily through shortcuts.
- **Drag & drop:** Organize your resources quickly and intuitively.
**What's improved in V1.8?**
This major update introduces Favorites, expands localization to 10 languages — including Japanese, Korean and Hindi — and brings improvements to application detection, shortcut management, interface clarity, stability and overall usability.
The Quick Start guide has also been substantially expanded with annotated screenshots, practical explanations and video demonstrations.
**Try everything before deciding**
Ctrl Deck includes a **14-day full-feature trial**, giving you access to all its capabilities before purchasing.
There's **no subscription**: the full version is available through a one-time license purchase.
Ctrl Deck supports **Windows 10 and Windows 11** and is distributed through the **Microsoft Store** and the official COMBOX website, with a digitally signed Windows installer.
**Less searching. Fewer repetitive actions. A more organized Windows workspace.**
