Controller-first task management

  • One compact app deck with D-pad, left-stick and touch input. Opening selects the first app; an empty list focuses Refresh.
  • Open, close, protect, group windows, close all, or close all but the app you were using before TaskDeck.
  • Fit all default plus Grid, List and Cards presets. Smaller controls, icon-only Settings and outlined menus.

Controller mapping

  • PadBoard-style A/B/X/Y and PlayStation vector symbols, each with a swapped profile.
  • Calibrate confirm button with printed A/Cross, or map six actions individually. Assigning an occupied button swaps actions; labels follow the bindings.
  • Separate optional digital chords open the menu or switch directly to the previous app. Settings follows mapped Confirm/Back.

RAM and settings

  • Used/total RAM in decimal MB. Every app diagram uses total physical RAM as its maximum, not the largest app. No free-RAM counter.
  • Eight focused first-launch steps and a completion-check animation; later launches go straight to the deck.
  • Category Settings with connected checkmark, themes/grouping/closing under Appearance, feedback controls and About.
  • Optional tips from About: https://ko-fi.com/silasdv

Install

Download TaskDeck-1.0.apk. Android 10+ and Shizuku 13+ are required. Start Shizuku and authorize TaskDeck; without root, restart Shizuku after reboot. See the README for official setup links.

Earlier 0.x test builds use a different debug key. Note your settings, uninstall the test build and install 1.0; uninstalling clears settings. Version 1.0 uses a dedicated release key for future updates. The App Bundle is for distribution tooling; APK is the direct-install file.

Validation and limits

86 automated tests, release lint, signed APK and App Bundle checks passed. APK signature verified. These tests use fake task IPC and do not establish physical Retroid Pocket 6 firmware compatibility or visible notification banners. Ordinary app closing removes tasks, not all background services. Default HOME may reopen automatically. Unverified operations are reported; destructive requests never auto-repeat after timeout. RAM measurements do not promise performance gains. TaskDeck does not replace Android's native swipe-up gesture.
