How could i can use an image as widget which would be there always ?

(Using free version btw)

Want to say first, I am LOVING PocketDesk! I am actually using my phone more efficiently and effectively. I was just wondering if the option for the weather widget to use Fahrenheit instead of Celsius? Not a huge deal though. And thank you for my new pet penguin!!!

Hi there, I been using the launcher and so far so good, very refreshing experience, just a question, will be there in a future update to make the launcher read private spaces created?, I would like to have my work apps without switching launchers, maybe as a new category inside the launcher. thanks Dev

Yay! we are live :)

Google Play may still show the name “Pocket Desk” which is soon to be renamed "PocketDesk Launcher" - the link and app itself is the same :)

please email if any issues, [info@pocketdesk.site](mailto:info@pocketdesk.site)

IF you were an Internal Beta tester, you may need to Leave the test program first from this link https://play.google.com/apps/internaltest/4701176770523080078

It's possible you may need to Uninstall the test version before installing the official first release.
If PlayStore still shows: Pocket Desk (Internal Beta), you may need to clear play stores caches in Android settings.

The 1.0 official release should be available very soon! Its been in review for two days by Google. 🤞

Yes! Thank God and thank you for following along, providing suggestions and hints :) let's build this community and a great launcher! :)

This means, PocketDesk should become available in the next 3-4 days on the Play Store!

Hello folks :)

PocketDesk has been through 14 days of closed testing with now some reddit users jumping on board to help with internal testing. Production release has been applied for, so the new PDA inspired launcher PocketDesk should be available - hopefully sometime this week!

Some new features to look forward to:

• playable game widgets (chess, klondike)
• Fold / Tablet layouts
• improved widget design and customization options

Some existing features you might not have known about:

• Media apps: IPTV, Music player: with a 'now playing' widget which let's you watch or control your media while reading a book, or writing notes - or even playing a game
• Games: Pocket LCD brings some original but simple games to the Desk,
• Cartridge player: allows you to play Pico-8 and Arduino Boy roms
• Documents: create local notes which support markdown, docx imports and can be secured with a pin code; create charts and calculate expenses with Sheets, inspired by older Personal organizer spreadsheets from the likes of Sharp.
• Studio: 4 track mini sequencer with a sampler akin to a pocket operator included.
• More! IRC Chat client, LastCard, ebook/pdf reader, RSS client, Chinese Chess and other cool widgets :)

PocketDesk is free and does not contain any Ads! however there is a one time unlock payment which gives you full access to all built in apps and widgets.

You can still use PocketDesk completely for free as a nice and unique launcher, but by unlocking and supporting the development, you get access to so much more.

Thank you for your support so far!

Hi everyone! I’m the creator of PocketDesk. Welcome, and thanks for being here.

Pocket Desk is an Android home screen inspired by classic pocket organisers and PDAs. It brings your apps, notes, calendar and widgets together, with custom themes, a keyboard with app shortcuts, and built-in tools for reading, drawing, music and retro games.

We’re currently in closed testing. The public Google Play release is pending, and I’m hoping to launch sometime October 11–17, if everything goes well. That’s the target window, rather than a confirmed release date—I’ll post updates here as things progress.

I made this community so we can build it together. Share your setups, ask questions, report bugs, suggest features, or tell me what feels good; and what needs work. I’ll share development updates and release news here too.

For bug reports, please include your phone model, Android version, and what happened. Screenshots help; hide any personal information first.
