Place your project dashboards, communication apps, cloud consoles, analytics, and frequently used sites as visual tiles. One click reaches any tool. It is your web command center.
Using them together
Many NESKTOP users keep their documentation in Notion and place their most important Notion pages directly on their NESKTOP desktop as bookmark tiles. Your team wiki, project tracker, meeting notes — one click from your NESKTOP canvas opens them in Notion. Notion handles the content; NESKTOP handles the access. Together they cover the full workflow: organize your knowledge in Notion, launch your tools from NESKTOP.
