Ctrl Deck

What it does

Ctrl Deck is a visual shortcut panel for Windows that lets you launchexe apps,lnk shortcuts, URLs, files, folders, commands and specific Windows actions from one clean interface. Unlike generic launchers, it focuses on visible, fast, organized workflows with a polished design and a responsive desktop experience (and in 6 languages).

Organize apps, files, folders and URLs in a visual Windows panel. Ctrl Deck V1.7 adds Workspaces to group your work context and open it faster. Microsoft Store.

Launch apps, files, folders, links, shortcuts and Workspaces from one clear panel. Secure installation from the official Microsoft Store listing. Ctrl Deck turns repeated actions, commands and app shortcuts into one clean visual panel. Too many open apps, windows everywhere, an overflowing taskbar, Alt+Tab on repeat. It is not a major problem once. It is permanent friction when it happens all day. When every window switch becomes a search through a wall of screens. Image intentionally split over two lines. How do you instantly find the precise application tab you need, even under pressure? Whether you use multiple screens or not, one application can generate several windows, and finding the…from com-box.fr

  I’m building Decks, an application where you create study decks that consists of notes, flashcards, YouTube videos, and ChatGPT conversations. Notes and flashcards can be attached to YouTube videos. And your ChatGPT conversations are searchable and organizable through tags and folders. The concept is that this is study application where you can keep all your materials related to a subject in one place. Would appreciate any feedback you might have. Thanks!

  Breadboard – A modern HyperCard for building web apps on the canvasFeb 2026 · breadboards.io · ▲93

  Hey HN! I’m Simone. We re-built Breadboard, a visual app builder that mixes Figma-style UI design with Shortcuts-style logic so you can build, preview, and publish interactive web apps directly from the canvas. What it does Design UIs visually with a flexible canvas –like Figma–. Define app logic with a visual, instruction-stacked editor inspired by Shortcuts. Live preview apps directly on the canvas –no separate preview window–. Publish working web apps with one click. Why we made it Modernize the HyperCard idea: combine layout, behavior, and instant sharing in one place. Reduce friction…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
