Browser & widgets

The browser panel embeds a real web view, so you can keep documentation, a live preview or a dashboard pinned next to your work. It opens web pages and local file:// paths, with back, forward and reload in the address bar and a screenshot button that drops a draggable thumbnail you can pull onto the canvas.

• Each browser panel keeps its own cookies and storage, so you can stay signed in to different accounts in different panels.
• Playback pauses automatically when a panel scrolls out of view, to save CPU and bandwidth.
• Known media hosts (YouTube, Twitch, SoundCloud and similar) render edge-to-edge with no address bar so the content fills the panel.

Local dev-server links printed in a terminal can open straight into a browser panel — see the terminal link routing for how that works.

The document panel previews PDFs, Word documents and images (PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, SVG and more) right on the canvas. It detects the file type for you, and if something cannot be rendered it offers to open the file in your system’s default app. The file path is remembered with your workspace, so documents reopen where you left them.

• Sticky Note — a freeform colored note with rich text (titles, headings, body, monospaced). Pick from five colors, and right-click to anchor a note to a panel; Deska draws a dashed connector between them.
• AI Scratchpad — a quick notepad that keeps a running summary of what you type, so a long brain-dump stays skimmable.

• Todo — a compact checklist. Type a task and press Enter, click items to complete them, and watch the done/total counter in the header. Items persist with the workspace.
• Pomodoro — a focus timer with the classic 25-minute work / 5-minute break rhythm. The countdown keeps running even if you close the panel or switch workspaces, and shows the mode, cycle and a circular progress ring.

A few extras add atmosphere without getting in the way: a small Music player for lofi, a Mood Ring that shifts color with your session, and a Brainrot Player for a vertical-video sidekick. They render chromeless and stay out of your way until you hover them.
