About
Ctrl Deck V1.7 is a major evolution of Ctrl Deck, a Windows productivity tool built to help users organize, capture and reopen their daily work environments faster.
Instead of losing time in Alt-Tab, taskbar clutter, desktop shortcuts, folders, browser tabs and repeated setup, Ctrl Deck brings apps, files, folders, URLs, shortcuts, visual groups and Workspaces into one clear interface.
Version 1.7 goes much further than a simple launcher.
Users can now import existing Desktop shortcuts, taskbar shortcuts and Chrome URLs, find installed apps through the new APPS section, organize resources into editable much further than a simple launcher.
Users can now import existing Desktop shortcuts, task groups, build reusable Workspaces, and capture an already open work environment in one click so it can be reopened later in seconds.
This one-click capture feature is one of the biggest additions in V1.7. When your current setup is already open โ apps, folders, files, links and project resources โ Ctrl Deck can preserve that work context and turn it into something you can reuse later instead of rebuilding it manually.
Ctrl Deck also includes Live Spaces, which help users identify active work contexts and convert them into saved Workspaces when they become useful. This makes the software practical not only for planned workflows, but also for real daily work where projects often start messy and become structured over time.
The app is designed for developers, freelancers, small businesses, agencies, researchers, support teams and anyone who switches between projects, clients, routines or recurring tasks during the day.
V1.7 also improves onboarding with a clearer first-launch experience, shortcut import, better visual organization, app discovery, drag and drop, optional keyboard shortcuts, clearer license status, updated screenshots, and a Quick Start video with subtitles in all supported languages.
Ctrl Deck V1.7 is built for people who do not just want to open apps, but want to recover complete work contexts and get back to work faster.
