The "invisible MVP": full media control without a visible window. Control Spotify, YouTube, or any media source with global hotkeys that keep working while you game — no alt-tabbing.

What's in it

  • Global hotkeys (work over fullscreen games): Ctrl+Alt+Space play/pause, Ctrl+Alt+Right next, Ctrl+Alt+Left previous
  • Tray icon with now-playing tooltip, playback menu, media-source picker, and opt-in "Start with Windows"
  • Works with any media source via Windows SMTC — no accounts, no API keys, nothing leaves your machine

Install

  1. Install the .NET 8 Desktop Runtime if you don't have it
  2. Unzip, run GameDeck.App.exe, look for ♪ in the system tray
  3. Windows SmartScreen may warn on first run (unsigned binary): More info → Run anyway

Known limitations

  • No visual overlay yet — that's Phase 2, in progress
  • Windows 10 19041+ only
