About

Marine and structural engineering consultant based in Newcastle, Australia. I built Deckspace because I was losing 15 minutes every morning navigating File Explorer- PDFs in OneDrive, drawings on a network drive, spreadsheets on my desktop, all for the same project. No tool organised files by project without moving them. So I built one. Deckspace is a Windows desktop workspace manager. One-time purchase, 14-day free trial.

Hunting for files in explorer...

How do you currently organize files across multiple projects when they're scattered across OneDrive, network drives, and local folders? Or do you just not?

Curious how other people handle this. I'm working on 3-4 projects at once (engineering consultant) and my files are everywhere, some PDFs in OneDrive, Excel sheets on my desktop, CAD files on a network drive. I spend way too much time just finding things.

Do you have a system that actually works? Or is everyone else also just navigating deep folder trees 10 times a day and pretending it's fine?

It's been decades. File Explorer hasn't changed. So I built something.

Windows File Explorer has looked and worked the same way for as long as I can remember. Folders organised by location, not by how you actually work.

I wanted to arrange my files around tasks and projects, not around where they happen to live on disk. I wanted to open a project and find everything right there waiting. I wanted to attach notes from a meeting directly to the file we discussed. I wanted to assign a task under a specific file so nothing falls through the cracks.

No app was doing this simply. Everything was either too complex, too cloud-dependent, or just not built for people who work with real files every day.

So I built Deckspace!

Deckspace - Stop hunting files. Start doing work.

Deckspace acts like a dedicated desk for each of your projects and tasks. Drag any file onto a Deck from OneDrive, your desktop, a network drive, anywhere, and it sits right there waiting for you. Deckspace just remembers the connection. Come back the next day and your project desk is exactly as you left it. Which other app lets you attach a note directly to a file? You can even assign tasks under a file. And there's more. 14-day free trial. One-time purchase. No cloud. No account.
