Zero hardware.
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.
Nine tiles. Your call.
Launch Anything
Apps, files, folders, links, Apple Music playlists, system actions, Shortcuts, even shell and AppleScript scripts. If you reach for it, deck it.
Summon From Anywhere
Tap ⌃⌥Space and the deck rises above whatever you're doing. The first nine tiles get their own hotkeys too, ⌃⌥1 through 9.
Music, With Artwork
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.
Compact Mode
Collapse the deck to a small chip and it stays out of your way. Hover, and it blooms open. Your desktop stays yours.
Pages and Grids
More to launch than fits on one screen? Add pages and swipe between them. Pick a 3x3, 4x3, or 3x4 grid.
Sits Just Right
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.
Set It and Forget It
Rotating backups keep your layout safe, and it keeps itself up to date. Configure it once and it keeps working.
Bought, Not Rented
$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.
Your Ninth Tile
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.
Your Dock, dealt in.
A fresh install reads your Dock and puts the first nine apps on page one, in the same order. You can click a tile the moment it opens.
At launch, and after twenty minutes away, the tiles come off the pile like cards. The rest of the day, ⌃⌥Space brings the deck up with no animation.
Nine more, every page.
Add pages and swipe between them. Ripple swaps the tiles in a quick wave, Depth stacks pages front to back, and Crossfade keeps it quiet. Pick one in Settings.
Live controls, under the deck.
A strip of small controls rides under your tiles. Mute your mic, see your next meeting and join it, turn on Do Not Disturb, check for unread messages, open the Trash.
Twenty-four modules in all. Pick the ones you use and the band sizes itself.

Music, with artwork.
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. Click an album to try it.
If you reach for it, deck it.
Apps, files, folders, links, playlists and albums, Shortcuts, even shell and AppleScript scripts. A tile can also connect a Bluetooth speaker, switch your audio output, snap a window, or copy a snippet. A Scene runs several of those with one click.
Set up a page for work and another for everything else, then swipe between them. Pick a 3x3, 4x3, or 3x4 grid.

Fresh off the build.

A Proper Settings Window
Everything that tunes the deck now lives in one Settings window, and the menu bar menu is back to the essentials.
Tiles Deal In
When the deck first appears, the tiles deal onto it like cards. Pick how pages change too: Ripple, Depth or Crossfade.
Your Dock, Ready To Go
A fresh install opens with the apps from your Dock already on the deck.
