A complete rundown of every feature — free and Pro — plus what's new in the latest release.
The latest release brings new features and improvements to your launcher.
A faster way to add shortcuts to your library, plus a fix that keeps your pinned Home cards exactly where you put them.
Drag a shortcut, program, or file straight from your desktop and drop it into Shok to add it to your library instantly — no folder hunting required.
Find Programs, Web Shortcut, and the new Drag and Drop are now grouped under a single Shortcut Options dropdown — a cleaner sidebar with every way to add a shortcut in one place.
Cards pinned to your Home screen now stay locked to the exact spot you place them, instead of drifting when you resize the window. Pinning a large number of shortcuts no longer pushes cards out of view.
Everything built into Shok — free features included out of the box, Pro features unlocked with a one-time purchase.
Organize shortcuts for games, apps, tools, or any file into one clean launcher. Scan a folder and everything appears automatically.
Every launch is logged. See play counts, session duration, first played, last played, and recently opened — all automatically.
A quick-access strip at the top of the library shows your five most recently launched shortcuts for instant re-entry.
Star any shortcut to pin it to your Favorites view. Filter your library to only what matters most.
Create custom categories and assign shortcuts to them. Organize by genre, project type, or anything you like.
Instantly filter your entire library as you type. No matter how many shortcuts you have, find what you need in seconds.
Hide shortcuts you rarely use without deleting them. Toggle hidden items on or off any time from the toolbar.
Attach a personal note to any shortcut — server IPs, save locations, tips, anything you'd want to remember.
Sort by name, most played, or last played. Adjust card size with a slider to fit your screen and preference.
A personal dashboard with a live clock, pinned shortcuts, recently played, favorites, and your categories — all visible the moment you open Shok.
Shok checks for updates in the background and notifies you when a new version is ready — one click to install.
Your library lives in a folder you choose. Move it, back it up, or share it however you like — it's just files.
Add any website URL to your library with a name and icon. Launch it in your default browser with a single click.
Connect your Steam account with an API key and sync your entire library. Installed games are added automatically, and playtime is pulled directly from Steam.
Real-time CPU usage, GPU utilization, and RAM consumption — with temperature readouts for CPU and GPU. Know how your rig is performing without leaving Shok.
Choose from curated color themes like Deep Space, Crimson, Forest, and Amber — or design your own with full color pickers for every UI element. Save and reuse custom themes.
Set a custom cover image for any shortcut. Upload artwork, screenshots, or any image to give your library a personal look and feel.
Scan your Start Menu and desktop for installed apps in one click. Preview, filter, and select exactly what you want to add — including Microsoft Store apps.
Drag a shortcut, program, or file from your desktop and drop it straight into Shok to add it to your library — no browsing or scanning required.
