Everything Control Deck can do.

A deck for every project

• Make as many decks as you like, one per project.
• Each deck keeps its own cards, layout, theme and agents.
• Switch decks to switch context. Agents keep running when you leave.

Card types

• Agent cards run an AI coding CLI in a full terminal.
• Shell cards for plain native terminals.
• Preview cards for a live browser of your dev server.
• Crew, Git, Markdown, Ctrl Port and media cards hold the rest of the work.

Layouts and focus

• Arrange cards freely, or switch to Grid, Columns or Spotlight.
• Double-click a card header to focus it. Press Esc to go back.
• Type commands in the command bar, or name an agent to send it a message.

Roles

• Commanders: Codex, Claude, Cursor, Grok, OpenCode or an agent you added.
• Workers run headless over ACP on any of those providers.
• Pick the provider, model and reasoning for each worker, or use your default crew.

The crew card

• Each commander has one crew card with a tab per worker.
• The All tab shows every worker with its provider, state and latest activity.
• A worker's tab shows its thinking, tool calls and edits.

Results

• When a batch finishes, the commander gets one message with every result.
• If the commander is busy, the message waits until its turn ends.
• Stopping a commander stops its workers.

Crew size and routing

• Run 1 to 24 workers per commander.
• Save a default crew of up to six workers, each with its own provider and model.
• Worker Routing sets which providers workers may use and whether paid API use is allowed.

Supported agent CLIs

• Codex, Claude, Cursor, Grok and OpenCode, as commanders and workers.
• Plain shell cards for anything else.
• Settings shows whether each provider CLI is signed in.

Add your own agents

• Add any ACP agent or terminal command in Settings > Agents.
• Install agents from the ACP registry.
• Agents you add work as commanders and workers.

One shared MCP layer

• Every agent card connects to the Control Deck MCP server.
• Shared tools for the board, preview, Markdown notes, dev servers, memory and delegation.
• Commanders use the same tools to spawn workers, read their diffs and merge results.

Isolated worktrees

• Each worker edits its own git worktree.
• Your project stays clean while the crew works.

You choose when changes land

• Merge worker changes in Settings: Ask me first or Automatically.
• You can also tell the commander to switch modes in chat.

Merges never commit

• The commander reads each worker's diff and merges it into your working tree.
• Merge conflicts are resolved with the same tools.
• A merge writes uncommitted changes. Committing stays with you.

Browser previews & Ctrl Port

• Ctrl Port finds localhost dev servers automatically.
• Restart or stop them, or open one in a preview card.
• Preview the running app next to the agent building it.

Markdown notes

• A Markdown card for notes and plans.
• Agents can read and write it through MCP.

Git

• Changes, branches and history in a Git card.
• Commit, discard, branch, pull and push without leaving the board.

Images and video

• Paste or drop screenshots and clips onto the board.
• They collect in one media card per deck.

Durable project memory

• Reviews finished sessions and records what matters.
• Agents can recall it in later sessions.

Your provider, your plan

• Runs on one of your signed-in agent CLIs or a custom API endpoint.
• Off until you choose a provider. No separate memory bill.

Plain files you can read

• Memory is saved as Markdown files on your machine: one per project, one shared.
• Every change is logged, so you can see what was added, replaced or removed.

Living backgrounds

• Seven built-in video backgrounds.
• Add your own image or video as a custom theme.
• Each deck can use its own theme.

Colors and glass

• Set primary and secondary colors.
• Tune opacity, blur, saturation and glow across the interface.

Resizes that do not smear

• Resize bursts coalesce into one final size.
• ConPTY repaints once instead of smearing mid-drag.

Crisp text at any zoom

• Zoom raises raster density instead of stretching a bitmap.
• Redraw lands in the same frame, with no blank flash.

Wide glyphs stay aligned

• The same Unicode width table runs in the live view and the off-screen mirror.
• Emoji and CJK stay on the grid during replay.

Scrollback that survives

• Switch decks or restart and terminals restore from a snapshot.
• Output that arrives during reattach stays in order. Nothing is missed or doubled.

Replay for the live grid

• Pending resizes flush before the screen is saved.
• The restored buffer matches the grid you see now.

One process, cleanly reaped

• Remounts attach to the live process instead of starting a second one.
• Quitting ends the whole Windows process tree, so nothing lingers.

No account required

• App, decks and files stay on your machine.
• Sign in to the provider CLIs you already use.

Secrets in OS storage

• Keys live in your OS credential store.
• What leaves your machine depends on the providers you choose.

No extra hosted bill

• Optional memory runs on a provider you already pay for.
• The Founder license is one-time. No Control Deck subscription.

macOS & Linux

Coming soon

• The first public release targets Windows 10 and 11 (x64).
• macOS and Linux builds are planned. The Founder license covers them when they ship.
