Build it once, share it with anyone

Open your NESKTOP canvas and arrange a desktop layout — bookmark tiles for their favorite websites, folders grouped by topic, a search widget set to their preferred engine, maybe a note widget with a welcome message or quick tips. When it is ready, save the layout and generate a share link. Send that link, and the recipient can preview the layout and import it into their own NESKTOP account with a single click.

Who you can help with a shared layout

Parents who struggle with technology — build them a simple desktop with large, clearly labeled tiles for their email, news, banking, and video calls. A colleague starting a new project — share a workspace with all the project tools pre-arranged. A friend who just keeps everything in open tabs — give them a clean desktop that shows them a better way. The layout does the organizing for them.

How sharing works, step by step

First, design your layout on the NESKTOP canvas — add widgets, arrange them, set colors, pick a background. Save it with a descriptive name. Click "Share Layout" to generate an expiring share link. Send the link however you prefer — email, message, or copy-paste. The recipient opens the link, sees a preview showing how many widgets and folders the layout contains, and clicks Import. The layout appears on their canvas immediately. They can customize it from there — add their own links, change colors, or save it as their own.

FAQ

Does the recipient need a NESKTOP account?

Yes, but creating a free account takes seconds. They sign up, open the share link, and import — the whole process is under a minute.

Do shared layouts include my personal data?

No. Shared layouts include the structure and arrangement — widget types, positions, colors, folder names — but not your personal bookmarks or data. The recipient sees the layout design, not your links.
