DeckPilot

All versions

The latest version is recommended and what DeckPilot auto-updates to. Older builds are here for rollback or compatibility — download and install over your current app; your decks and settings are kept.

After installing an older version, DeckPilot may prompt you to update back to the latest. Click Skip on that prompt if you want to stay on the older build.

build 47Latest

May 30, 2026

Download
  • Finder & all your apps in the picker — Assign a deck to any app, including Finder and built-in Apple apps. The picker is faster and now shows everything you have installed.
  • Default deck — Star any deck to make it your fallback. It shows on your iPhone whenever the focused Mac app has no deck assigned, and changes apply to your phone instantly.
  • Multi-action buttons — Give a button a double-tap action, a long-press action, or a pop-up submenu, all on one button. Works best with DeckPilot iOS 1.3 or later.
  • Reliable window opening — "Open DeckPilot" from the menu bar, Dock, or Launchpad now surfaces the window every time.
  • Stays signed in — Pro and Lifetime accounts no longer get signed out after a hiccup, including across multiple Macs and iPhones.
  • Bug fixes and stability improvements.

DeckPilot 1.2.7

build 46

May 14, 2026

Download
  • Apps installed for "just me" now show up — When you assign a deck to an app, the picker now finds apps installed in your personal Applications folder (Google Antigravity, Chrome, Drive, and others installed without an admin password) in addition to the system Applications folder.

DeckPilot 1.2.6

build 43

May 8, 2026

Not available
  • Window tiling that works everywhere — Tile Left, Tile Right, and Maximize now snap your front window across any version of macOS without needing a third-party app.
  • Smarter screenshots — A new Window screenshot tile picks a window with one tap. Plus three new "to clipboard" tiles for full screen, area, and window captures, and a Show Folder shortcut that jumps to wherever your screenshots actually save.
  • Finder Power redesigned — Three organized pages (Actions, Views, Folders) with new tiles for Toggle Hidden Files, Copy Path, Open in Terminal, Empty Trash, view toggles, and quick-jump folders (Downloads, Documents, Desktop, Applications, iCloud Drive, Utilities).
  • Screenshots deck rebuilt — Renamed and split into Capture (six file/clipboard variants) and Tools (Capture Tool, Show Folder, Preview).
  • System decks more reliable — Sleep, AirDrop, Siri, Empty Trash, and Quit App now use proper macOS APIs instead of legacy keystrokes that didn't always fire.
  • Snappier dashboard — Eliminated the long pauses you'd see when icons loaded for the first time.

DeckPilot 1.2.5

build 42

May 5, 2026

Not available
  • Deck Theme — Set one global look (background, accent, glass clarity, density, icon style, touch bar) and every deck inherits it live.
  • Per-deck Theme picker — Each deck can be Default, Custom, or Global so you can override the global look just for the decks you want.
  • Smarter Liquid Glass on light backgrounds — Tiles automatically switch to a clearer glass when you pick a bright theme so there's no dark plate behind your icons.
  • Bug fixes and stability improvements.

  • Pinned stays first — Your pinned deck is locked at the first position. Nothing else can take its slot.
