What it does

Widgets

Bookmarks with folders and custom icons, notes, to-dos with deadlines, weather, world clocks, calendars from ICS feeds, newsfeeds and a habit tracker.

Your layout

Drag, resize and arrange widgets on a grid. Keep several dashboards and switch between them.

Share with a link

Publish a dashboard at a public link, with an optional password.

Themes and colour

Light and dark themes, custom wallpapers, and a colour override for each widget.

Keyboard shortcuts

Search with Ctrl+K, open the sidebar with Ctrl+comma, and see every shortcut with a question mark.

Account security

Email verification, two-factor authentication with backup codes, and password reset.

How it is built

The principles behind Dashly, and the choices that follow from them.

01

Light by design

A start page opens many times a day, so Dashly is built without a heavy framework. Less code to download means a faster first view.

02

One trip to the server

Weather, news feeds and calendars are fetched and cached on our side. Your dashboard loads from one place, and outside services are asked once.

03

Share on your terms

Dashboards stay private until you publish one, and a shared link can carry a password.

04

Keyboard first

Search, settings and every shortcut are one keypress away, for people who would rather keep their hands on the keys.
