Organizing bookmarks visually: how folders, pages, and widgets work together in NESKTOP

Bookmarks are at their best when you can see them, drag them, group them, and reach them with one click. Here is how NESKTOP turns your saved links into a visual workspace.

Bookmarks as visual tiles — see everything at a glance

In NESKTOP, every bookmark is a tile on your canvas. Each tile shows the website's icon and name, and you can customize its color, size, and position. Instead of scrolling through a text list in a dropdown menu, you see your most important links arranged exactly where you want them. Click once and go — no menus, no searching, no scrolling.

Folders that work like desktop folders — drag, drop, and group

NESKTOP folders look and behave like the folders on your computer desktop. Drag bookmarks into them to group related links together — all your news sites in one folder, all your work tools in another, all your research sources in a third. Open a folder to see its contents, rearrange the order, and add or remove links at any time. Visual grouping makes finding things faster than navigating nested text menus.

Multiple pages for different contexts

One desktop is not always enough. NESKTOP lets you create separate pages — one for work, one for study, one for personal browsing, one for each client or project. Each page has its own independent set of widgets, folders, and bookmarks. Switch between pages with a single click in the page navigation bar, and your entire workspace changes context instantly.

Widgets beyond bookmarks — search, notes, and live data

Your NESKTOP desktop is not just bookmarks. Add a search widget with your preferred search engine — Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, and more — right on the canvas. Add note widgets to jot down quick thoughts beside your tools. The Popular Websites widget updates automatically with your most-visited sites from your browsing. Bookmarks are the foundation, but the desktop grows with whatever you need.

Can I import my existing browser bookmarks into NESKTOP?
