Can I move Deskies to the side instead of keeping it in the centre?

Yes. Drag the three-dot handle to snap Deskies to the top, bottom, left, right, or a corner. Side positions use a vertical presence bar and chats open inward.

Can I delete my Deskies account and data?

Yes. Open Preferences, choose Account, then Delete profile. Deskies removes your profile, friendships, messages, conversations, uploaded files, and active sessions.

Deskies

Stay close to your college friends, partner, and favorite coworkers — no matter where they work.

Remote work made you invisible to the people you like working near. Deskies brings that feeling back—then makes it effortless to focus, talk, or share a screen together.

Questions, answered

The small details.

Deskies is designed to stay close without getting in your way.

Can I move it to the side instead of keeping it in the centre?

Yes. Drag the three-dot handle to snap Deskies to eight fixed positions: top or bottom left, centre, or right—and centre left or right. On the sides, the presence bar turns vertical and chats open inward.

Will it be visible in screenshots and screen sharing?

Not by default. Deskies is hidden from screenshots, screen recordings, and screen sharing so your demos and calls stay clean. You can choose to include it from Settings whenever you want.

How much space does it take on screen?

Very little. The horizontal bar is roughly 76 pixels tall, while the side layout is about 76 pixels wide. It can also collapse into a tiny dot strip, and the chat panel appears only when you open it.

Where to find tokens if paid?

Click your avatar in the presence bar, scroll to the bottom, and open “Invite tokens…”.

Can I delete my account and data if I want to?

Yes. Go to Preferences → Account → Delete profile and type “Delete” to confirm. Deskies permanently removes your profile, friendships, messages, conversations, uploaded files, and active sessions.
