Introducing

ZenDeck.

Windows gaming, as it should be.

A lightweight, controller-friendly launcher for Windows gaming. Open it, pick a game, and play.

ZenDeck on a Windows handheld
Launch

One home for your games.

Steam, Xbox / Game Pass, Epic, GOG, Ubisoft, EA, Amazon and Itch — all in a lightweight, controller-friendly launcher.

Organize

Your library, your way.

Use automatic store groups, create custom groups, pin them to Home, or hide anything you don’t want in the way.

Tune

Profiles that follow the game.

Smart Profiles and Dynamic TDP help apply the right behavior per game, so setup gets out of the way before you play.

Windows gaming is powerful, but it can still mean setup, configuration, and friction.
ZenDeck makes it simpler.

Launch it.
Play it.

AutoPilot applies the right settings when you launch a game — Smart Profiles, Dynamic TDP, and hardware behavior working together in the background — so you can open ZenDeck, pick a game, and play.

Smart Profiles

Stop searching.
Start playing.

Community-validated settings for your game, on your device. Applied in one tap — no Reddit threads required.

Dynamic TDP

Power that follows
every frame.

ZenDeck monitors your device in real time and adjusts TDP on the fly — more when you need it, less when you don't.

Gaming setup
Smart Profiles

No more hunting
for the right settings.

You've seen it a hundred times — someone asks in a forum or a Discord: "what settings should I use for this game on my ROG Ally?" The replies point to a Reddit thread, a YouTube video, a wall of text. You try it. It kind of works. Maybe.

Smart Profiles fix that. The community creates validated configurations — textures, shadows, resolution, FSR, AFMF, RSR — and you apply them with one tap. No searching. No guessing. Just the best settings, ready to go.

Community-validated settings for each supported game
AMD FSR, AFMF and RSR included

Dynamic TDP

Always the right amount
of power.

ZenDeck monitors CPU and GPU load, temperatures, and frame behavior in real time while your game runs. When the game demands more, TDP rises. When it doesn't, ZenDeck pulls back — saving battery without you ever noticing.

No profiles to configure. No sliders to tune. It just works, in the background, the entire time you play.

Real-time hardware metrics monitoring while gaming
TDP adjusts dynamically — not just at launch
More performance when needed, longer battery when not
ZenCard

Your library
in your pocket.

Set up your SD card once — ZenDeck scans it, links your games to your device, and remembers everything. After that, insert the card and your games appear. Remove it and they're gone, clean.

No history pollution. No orphaned entries. Like a Nintendo Switch cartridge, reinvented for Windows.

One-time scan links games to your device and card
Steam games fully portable across devices
Xbox / Game Pass titles include smart compatibility warnings

Game library
One Library

Every game.
One place.

Steam. Xbox / Game Pass. Epic. EA. GOG. Ubisoft. Itch. Amazon. ZenDeck sees them all and brings them together in a single, beautiful view. Stop switching launchers. Start playing.

Automatic scans — always up to date
Recently played surfaces your most-used games first
Groups organize related games into your own home rows
SD Card games blend in seamlessly, disappear cleanly
Xbox mode

Press Home.
ZenDeck is there.

ZenDeck integrates natively with Windows Xbox mode. It becomes the home of your device — not just an app, but the experience itself. Configured once at install. No UAC prompts, ever.

Registered as Windows Gaming Home App at install time
Instant Home button response — zero elevation friction
Works natively alongside Xbox Game Bar
Instant Resume

Sleep your device.
Not your progress.

Sleep your device. Wake up to a crashed game. There are apps for that.

With ZenDeck, you don't need them. Sleep, and your game freezes in place. Wake up exactly where you left off. With ZenDeck, supported games can be suspended before sleep and restored on wake. Sleep your device, come back later, and continue where you left off — without turning every quick break into a full restart.

Game process fully suspended on device sleep
Resume instantly — exactly where you left off
Catches automatic wakes so your device never stays awake draining battery
Not available on games protected by anti-cheat software
ZenDeck Pulse widget
ZenDeck Pulse

Full control.
Without leaving your game.

ZenDeck Pulse is a Game Bar widget that lives inside your game. Adjust TDP, refresh rate, resolution, and AMD options — RSR, AFMF, Radeon Boost, Anti-Lag, Image Sharpening — without ever dropping to the desktop.

Create per-game profiles or set a global profile that applies everywhere. Everything, from inside the game.
