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, and maybe a note widget where they can add their own 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…" 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 "Save to my layouts" or "Apply to a Personal Page". 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?

Shared layout snapshots can include the bookmark links and titles and widget URLs that are part of the layout — so links you placed on the canvas are part of what the recipient imports. Note and task contents and saved credentials are not included. Review the links in your layout before sharing it.
