Panels overview

There are four ways to put a panel on the canvas:

• The build rail — a slim vertical pill on the left edge of the canvas with the Panel Library button on top and your pinned panel types below it (Terminal, Editor, Browser, … Agent). Click a pin to spawn that panel; drag pins to reorder them, or right-click to unpin.
• Panel Library (Cmd/CtrlShiftE) — browse every panel type in a searchable grid, grouped by category. Some panels (browsers, embeds, agents) offer a small config form right in the picker.
• Command Palette (Cmd/CtrlK) — type New Terminal, New Browser, and so on.
• Right-click the canvas — a context menu offers quick spawns and any panels you have pinned to the build rail.

The everyday tools you build with. Each has its own page in these docs:

• Terminal — a real shell with a smart action bar and agent-session resume.
• Code Editor — a Monaco-powered editor with a file tree and tabs.
• Git — stage, diff, commit and manage branches.
• File Explorer — a git-aware tree of your project.
• Browser — an embedded web view for docs, previews and dashboards.
• Deska Agent — a coding agent that works beside your project.
• Projects — a list of recent projects for quick switching.

• Document — preview PDFs, Word documents and images right on the canvas.
• Sticky Note — a freeform colored note with rich text. Notes can be anchored to a panel with a dashed connector line.
• AI Scratchpad — a quick brain-dump pad that keeps a running summary of what you write.

Small, single-purpose widgets that keep their own space on the canvas. Most are chromeless — they render without a tab bar and reveal a close button on hover.

• Todo — a compact checklist with a progress counter.
• Pomodoro — a 25/5 focus timer whose countdown keeps running across workspace switches.
• Music — a mini lofi player to keep you in the zone.
• Mood Ring and Brainrot Player — ambient extras for when you want a little background motion.

• Voice — a dictation catalog that transcribes what you say. This is a managed AI feature.
• Custom Embed — paste any URL to pin it as a chromeless panel. Known media hosts (YouTube, Twitch, SoundCloud, and similar) render edge-to-edge with no address bar.
• Canvas — a nested canvas inside a dock zone, for splitting a complex layout into sub-surfaces.
