About Cute Desk App

Free, privacy-first browser widgets you can use as your start page. No accounts, no tracking — just open and go.

What is Cute Desk App?

Cute Desk App is a free, browser-based widget app designed to replace your default new-tab or start page with something actually useful. It includes a growing collection of widgets — a clock, weather, calendar, to-do list, notes, AI chatbot, calculator, and more — all running right in your browser. From office widgets and productivity widgets to games, Cute Desk App has everything you need. There's nothing to install, no account to create, and no subscription to pay for. Just open cutedesk.app, set it as your start page, and you're good to go.

Privacy First

Your content never leaves your browser. Your notes, tasks, sheets, settings and everything else you put into a widget are stored locally, in your browser's built-in storage. There are no user accounts, no analytics cookies by default, and no server-side databases.

  • All widget data is stored in localStorage — it stays on your device.
  • No server-side storage, no tracking pixels, and no third-party analytics unless you opt in.
  • No account needed, and no personal information is required to use it.
  • A few widgets, like the Weather widget, the News widget and the Chat widget, need the internet to do their job. None of them get your name, because there is no account.

Who's behind it

Just me, Aldo. I've been building apps since I was 16 years old, and for the last 15 years I've been making Apple and web apps in San Francisco, California — and I still love it. Code is how I make art: through user interfaces, through logic, through the small details that make something feel right. Cute Desk App is my place to create that art for you, and I believe everyday browser tools should be free, private and delightful to use.
