Save your layout — never lose your setup

After you have arranged your bookmarks, folders, search widgets, and notes exactly how you like them, save the layout with a name. You can save multiple layouts — one for each project, client, or season — and switch between them whenever you want. If you experiment with a new arrangement and do not like it, simply reload your saved layout. Your best setups are always one click away.

Save your best layouts and share them

Design a desktop, save it, and send it to a friend — they can import it in seconds.

Apply presets — instant desktops for common workflows

NESKTOP includes built-in presets for common workflows: Lite, Pro, Study & Research, and Project & Freelance. Apply any preset to populate your canvas instantly with a designed layout. Presets are starting points — customize them freely after applying. You can also start from a completely blank canvas if you prefer to build from scratch.

Import a shared layout

When someone shares a layout with you, open the link, preview the contents, and click Import. The layout replaces your current canvas arrangement. You can then customize it — add or remove widgets, rearrange, change colors — and save it as your own. It is the fastest way to get a professionally designed desktop without starting from zero.

FAQ

How many layouts can I save?

The Free plan includes a number of saved layouts suitable for personal use. Pro and Lifetime plans support more saved layouts for users who need extensive layout management.

Do shared layouts include my personal links?

When you share a layout, the structure and arrangement are shared — the positions of widgets, folders, and layout settings. The recipient sees the layout design, not your personal bookmarks or data.
