Your desktop command deck. A frosted grid of tiles that lives above your wallpaper and below your windows.
Launch apps, files, playlists, and scripts in one click. It’s there when you glance over, and one hotkey away when you need it.
$19, once. No subscription. One license works on 2 Macs. Free trial, no email required.

BasicDeck pins a frosted grid of tiles to your desktop, above the wallpaper and below your windows. It's there when you glance over, out of the way while you work, and one hotkey away when you need it.
Every tile launches something you choose: apps, files, folders, links, playlists, system actions, Shortcuts, even scripts. Set up a page for work and another for everything else, then swipe between them.
Try everything free for 14 days, no email required. When it clicks, it's $19 once. One license works on 2 Macs.
Apps, files, folders, links, Apple Music playlists, system actions, Shortcuts, even shell and AppleScript scripts. If you reach for it, deck it.
Tap ⌃⌥Space and the deck rises above whatever you're doing. The first nine tiles get their own hotkeys too, ⌃⌥1 through 9.
Playlist and album tiles pull real artwork straight from Apple Music. A Now Playing tile shows what's on, with play and pause right there.
Collapse the deck to a small chip and it stays out of your way. Hover, and it blooms open. Your desktop stays yours.
More to launch than fits on one screen? Add pages and swipe between them. Pick a 3x3, 4x3, or 3x4 grid.
Pin it and set the opacity so it holds its place, above the wallpaper and below your windows. Edit mode darkens the deck while you drag tiles into order.
Rotating backups keep your layout safe, and it keeps itself up to date. Configure it once and it keeps working.
$19, once. A 14-day free trial with no email required, a license that works on 2 Macs, and a signed and notarized app for macOS 14 and up.
Whatever you reach for most. Every tile is yours to choose, and every page holds nine more.
Hover a tile. On your Mac, it’s ⌃⌥Space to summon and ⌃⌥1 through ⌃⌥9 to fire.
Playlist and album tiles pull real artwork straight from Apple Music, so your deck looks like your record shelf.
A Now Playing tile shows what’s on, with play and pause right there.


Apps, files, folders, links, Apple Music playlists, system actions, Shortcuts, even shell and AppleScript scripts.
Set up a page for work and another for everything else, then swipe between them. Pick a 3x3, 4x3, or 3x4 grid.
No subscription. Yours for good.
