Start pages and bookmark managers: how they work together with NESKTOP
Understanding the difference between saving links, launching your daily work, and building a reusable visual workspace.
Start pages are for launching your day
A great start page gets you into your next action fast. It should show the tools and links you need most — not a search box and a generic background. NESKTOP as a start page puts your actual working tools front and center: your project dashboards, your frequent sites, your search bar with your preferred engine, all arranged exactly how you want.

A bookmark manager can hold hundreds or thousands of saved links, organized with tags and folders. That depth is valuable for research and reference. NESKTOP complements this by giving your most-used bookmarks a visual home on your desktop — the links you reach for daily live on the canvas; the archives stay safely stored.
NESKTOP gives you both in one place
NESKTOP is a visual canvas where you can place bookmarks as colorful tiles, search widgets, folders, notes, and automatically-updating panels like Popular Websites. It works as your new tab page via the browser extension, and your bookmarks are always visible — no menus, no digging. You get the speed of a start page and the organization of a bookmark manager on one screen.

| Visual workspace | Full canvas with widgets and pages | Limited visual options in both |
