How it works
A cockpit for active work, not another place to manage.
Attention first
Healthy, testing, blocked, failed, stale, high usage, and needs review are visible at a glance.
On-device and private
Deck reads your screen locally. Summaries use Apple’s on-device model; your work is not sent to Hottub.
Grouped by project
Windows cluster by the git project they belong to, color-coded so busy work becomes legible.
While you were away
Step away and return to a clear readout of what finished, what failed, and what is waiting on you.
Tidy in one click
Columns, Grid, Cascade, and Mosaic arrange the whole workspace without dragging windows around.
Private by design
Reads your screen locally. Sends nothing to Hottub.
Deck is a Mac utility for your machine, not a cloud workspace. There is no account, no collaboration server, and no Hottub-side memory of your code, prompts, terminals, or summaries.
