Feature inventory

Everything SynaptoDeck does.

One manifest drives the app and this page. When a feature ships, it appears here on the next build.

Core deck

The fundamentals — a grid of buttons that do things.

Programmable grid

Lay out exactly the deck you need. Resize the grid anytime — your buttons reflow.

Shipped in v0.1.0

Multiple pages per profile

Group your buttons however you think — work, personal, games, side projects. One swipe between them.

Shipped in v0.10.0

Multiple profiles

One deck for streaming, one for dev, one for the kitchen. Switch with a click.

Shipped in v0.1.0

Per-profile wallpaper

Make each deck feel like its own space.

Shipped in v0.75.0

Per-profile accent colour

Tint each profile with its own colour — blue for work, pink for streaming, green for dev. Glow, focus rings, hover states all match. Switch profiles, the whole deck repaints instantly.

Trigger any button from anywhere, even when SynaptoDeck isn't focused.
