Lost in your browser tabs?
Gmail, Drive, Notion, Slack, Figma — buried somewhere in thirty open tabs.
Native macOS app
Your web, without the tabs.
A native Mac app that gives every website its own window, icon, and keyboard shortcut — anything you open in a browser, now at home on your desktop.
Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later · Free
Any website. Now a desktop app.
Notion, Slack, Figma, Linear — whatever you open in a browser gets its own window, icon, and place on a calm dashboard you open every morning. Ten Google apps are ready the first time you open it; add the rest from the library, or any site with a URL.
If it runs in a browser, it runs in Desknook.
Google, your tools, your whole stack — each with its own window.

Tabs lose your apps. Desknook gives each one a home.
When everything lives in browser tabs, the apps you use all day get buried. Desknook gives each one a tile, an icon, and its own window — launchable with a click, a shortcut, or a menu bar pin. A dashboard that stays calm no matter how much you add.
Nooks — group your apps the way you think
Work, personal, clients, side projects — make a Nook for each and drag apps where they belong. Collapse what you're not using, reorder until it matches how your day actually runs.
Floating Nook — your apps, always within reach
A floating panel that lives on the edge of your screen and stays put across every Space, desktop, and full-screen app. See which apps have open windows, switch with a single click, and auto-hide it when you need the room.
“Always there. Never in the way.”
Your web apps, right on the desktop
Add Gmail, Calendar, or any website you’ve saved as a macOS desktop widget. Glance at it, or click to jump straight into the app.
One click, or one keystroke, away
Pin your most-used apps to the menu bar for one-click access from anywhere. And assign a per-app keyboard shortcut (Pro) to launch any of them instantly, without lifting your hands from the keyboard.
Focus — deep work, built in
A calm, full-screen timer for focused work. Set an intention, choose a length, and let it run — with sound and banner alerts when each interval ends, and your daily total at a glance. Your open windows stay one click away, so you never lose your place.
Your day, beside your apps
Today's events and open reminders sit in the sidebar — right beside the apps you'll use to deal with them. Add an event, check off a task; it syncs straight through to your Mac's Calendar and Reminders.

Program managers, marketers, students — here’s what people who traded tabs for Desknook have to say.
Alexander Saenz Program Manager · USA
“Every site I work in has its own window now — I’m not digging through twenty tabs to find the one I had open. The keyboard shortcuts and the dock are what hooked me. And it’s not locked to a set list of apps; whatever I need, I just add it.”
Dr. Carolin Hanser Communication Manager · Germany
“I love that my calendar and reminders sit right alongside my apps — it’s become the clean, single place I start my day. And no subscription, which honestly sealed it.”
Robert McCollum Finance leader · USA
“It was running the way I wanted in a few minutes. I move through my Workspace apps faster now — clean, straightforward, and it genuinely makes me more productive.”
Gabriel Elias Zanovello Law student · Italy
“No more tabs — everything I use is right there on the dashboard, a click or a pin away. And I can make it mine: my own background, set up the way I want it. It just feels like a calm place to work.”
