Releases
Session Deck 1.4.0
New
- Your PC at a glance. A small block beside the dashboard's buttons shows CPU load, RAM in use, and your graphics card's load and video memory. It updates every 2 seconds while the dashboard is open, with figures that match Task Manager's.
- See what Claude costs your PC. The orange part of each bar, and the Claude line under them, is what Claude desktop, your Claude Code sessions and everything they started (MCP servers, shells, builds) are using.
- Hover for details. Each row's tooltip adds more: the CPU model, committed memory, the GPU's temperature, busiest engine and shared memory, any other graphics cards, and how many processes Claude is running.
- Early warnings. The memory figure turns amber when Windows has almost no memory left to hand out, and the GPU figure turns amber when the card's own memory is over 95% full. The bars turn amber at 85% and red at 95%.
Updating
From 1.1.x or later, click Update to 1.4.0 in the pop-up, the tray menu or Settings. From 1.0.x, exit Session Deck from its tray icon, unzip this release over your old SessionDeck.exe and start it again. Your settings are kept either way.

Session Deck 1.3.0
New
- Your mascot walks on the taskbar. It strolls along the top of the taskbar on your main monitor and reacts to your sessions just like in the banner and widget. It walks while Claude works, hops with a "!" when a session needs you, and celebrates when one finishes. Click it for a trick, double-click to open the dashboard, drag it around, or right-click it to open the dashboard or hide it. Clicks anywhere else go to the windows underneath. It never takes focus from what you're typing, and it hides while a full-screen app, game or presentation is running.
- Turn it on or off in Settings. The new Walk on the taskbar switch is under Mascot, and it's on by default.
Updating
From 1.1.x or 1.2.x, click Update to 1.3.0 in the pop-up, the tray menu or Settings. From 1.0.x, exit Session Deck from its tray icon, unzip this release over your old SessionDeck.exe and start it again. Your settings are kept either way.

Session Deck 1.2.0
New
- Five new games. Debug Dungeon, Merge Panic, Ship It, Context Defense and Daily Diff join the runner in one games window. Each one pauses and tells you as soon as a session needs you, each has a daily course that's the same for everyone all day, and your mascot's power works in all of them. Best scores are kept per game and per mascot. The runner got harder, so its old scores start over.
- Sign in from the banner. When Claude Code's sign-in has expired, the usage banner shows Refresh sign-in and Sign in… buttons, like the widget does. The header also has Refresh and Sign in buttons.
- Pace forecast in the header. The 5-hour use chart is gone. Its useful part, the reset time and where your pace is heading, now sits above Today's worked time.
- Projects are now called environments throughout the app.
Fixed
- The game window no longer opens behind the dashboard when the dashboard is pinned on top.
- The usage banner no longer cuts off its top line and the sign-in buttons when they're shown.
- A limit shows 0 % as soon as its reset time passes, and the app fetches again right after a 5-hour reset instead of showing the old figure until the next check.
Updating
From 1.1.x, click Update to 1.2.0 in the pop-up, the tray menu or Settings. From 1.0.x, exit Session Deck from its tray icon, unzip this release over your old SessionDeck.exe and start it again. Your settings are kept either way.

Session Deck 1.1.1
Fixed
- Always on top now stays on top. Windows can quietly drop a window out of the always-on-top layer, for example when Explorer restarts, after sleep or lock, or when a display changes. The dashboard and the usage widget then fell behind other windows even though Always on top was still ticked, until you restarted the app. Session Deck now notices and puts them back on top within a couple of seconds.
Updating
From 1.1.0, click Update to 1.1.1 in the pop-up, the tray menu or Settings. From 1.0.x, exit Session Deck from its tray icon, unzip this release over your old SessionDeck.exe and start it again. Your settings are kept either way.

Session Deck 1.1.0
What's new
- Updates itself. Session Deck checks GitHub for a new release a minute after it starts and then twice a day, and lets you know when one is out. Update from the pop-up, from Update to … in the tray menu, or with Update now in the new Updates section of Settings. It checks the download against the release's SHA-256, swaps the exe and restarts, keeping your settings and Start with Windows.
- The usage widget's dashboard button is now a labelled Dashboard button, so it's easier to find.
Updating from 1.0.x
1.0.0 and 1.0.1 don't have the updater, so update by hand this one last time: exit Session Deck from its tray icon, unzip this release over your old SessionDeck.exe, and start it again. Your settings are kept. From 1.1.0 on, updates are a click.
