A minute in DeskDash, from empty desktop to one that’s entirely yours.

Recorded from an early development build. The released app may look and behave differently.

How it works

DeskDash runs at wallpaper level, so widgets sit on the desktop itself rather than in a window you have to keep open.

01

Make it yours.

Drag, resize, restyle and stack. Snap widgets into place, exactly where and how you want them.

02

Find widgets that fit you.

Browse the marketplace and add what you actually need. Widgets are open and everyone can add their own.

03New

Replace the taskbar too.

Pick a taskbar from the store: a floating dock, a side rail, or a glass bar that moves with your music. Your pinned and open apps come with it, and the Windows one comes back with one click.

04

Build your own.

Need something specific? The DeskDash API and SDK let you write your own widget in plain HTML, CSS and JS, with no build step. Your imagination is the limit.

widget.js
// widget.js: a plain web module
const price = dd.ui.signal("…");
 
dd.poll(60_000, async () => {
  const r = await dd.http.fetch(url);
  price.set("$" + (await r.json()).usd);
});

Your widget, your data

Security

Each DeskDash widget is basically a small web page. It's open and you can build pretty much anything you can think of. This is why security will always be a main concern:

Sandboxed by default

Every widget runs isolated, with no reach into your files, your network, or other widgets. Accessing those is possible, through a custom SDK that makes sure it won't go rogue.

You grant every capability

Nothing touches your system without your permission. Find a widget that asks for more than it should need? Decide what it can and what it can't do.

Secrets stay put

API keys live in Windows Credential Manager, never in widgets.

One can't break the rest

A misbehaving widget only affects itself. The desktop and everything else keeps running.
