Renamed its entire public API without breaking a single integration point
I have run this in production since it was Desktop Mode. I also build against it, so I see more of its surface than a typical user would. My theme and my own plugin both integrate with it, and at this point the admin genuinely feels like mine rather than like someone else’s product I am borrowing. The part worth…

Powerful feature for WordPress Power Users
If you have a lot of custom post types, pages, posts, etc., and you’re working on many of them simultaneously, this is a God-send. Even better if you have a large monitor. Well done.

Modern and creative admin experience
Really interesting concept and one of the more unique WordPress admin experience plugins I’ve tested recently. I especially like the desktop/workspace direction and the overall creativity behind the UI. I spend a lot of time testing modern admin/workspace plugins and Desktop Mode definitely stands out with its own…

Homebase
This is a really neat idea. WP core’s been giving me similar vibes to Tiddlywiki in its capability towards extensibility and this plugin solidifies that idea in my mind. I’d be interested in having other providers available for use with quick search – and even an option to fall back to the normal Ctrl+K behavior. But…

Interesting…
Very interesting idea. It makes working in WP somewhat more productive…

Super interesting
It’s a cool project. Very much creative. I wouldn’t have ever thought about turning WP admin into a desktop-like interface. How did you come up with it?

Una evolución necesaria para el administrador de WordPress
No es solo un cambio visual: abre una forma distinta de organizar y usar el administrador de WordPress, con muchas posibilidades para quienes pasamos tiempo trabajando dentro del panel. Desde el primer momento empecé a trabajar con él, y esa primera impresión de herramienta original y útil no ha hecho más que…

I’m blown away
This is the first review I’m writing ever for a plugin and the first plugin that blew me away. This is definitely something I would use on a daily basis. Well done!

An impressive achievement, a fun novelty, but I hope not the future of WordPress
As someone steeped in the evolution of computer interfaces since before GUIs existed (other than inside Xerox PARC anyway), I find this incredibly fun to play around with, and I’m genuinely impressed with what has been accomplished here. At the same time… I’m not convinced it’s a good idea to replace the default…

A Revolutionary new WordPress Admin Experience
Absolutely blown away by this plugin. Desktop Mode completely transforms the WordPress admin experience into something that feels modern, productive, and actually fun to use. Littlebit like a Linux Distribution :-). The draggable windows, dock, taskbar, and desktop-like workflow make managing multiple admin pages…

One Word !
Un-freaking-believable ! Ok, may be more than one word. This will be beyond excellent when completed and some of the bugs are fixed. I hope one thing returns that was there in the earlier versions – if you clicked anywhere on the desktop, all open “windows” (folders) would minimize, and once minimized, clicking on the…

A refreshing new way to use WordPress admin
I’ve really enjoyed using Desktop Mode. It gives the WordPress admin interface a fresh, modern feel and makes working inside the dashboard much more engaging. The desktop-style layout, draggable windows, dock, and taskbar make the admin area feel completely different in the best way. It’s a great new look for…

Refreshing
This is a really great, refreshing change to the native WordPress admin area. One issue I’ve found with it so far is that the Divi 5 builder won’t open in the app windows, so just a heads up to the dev. It’s easily solved by switching back to the classic admin (for example, when using the Divi theme builder), without…

Custom APP (LINK) Request
Please add ability to create custom app with link, so that I can add “gmail.com” or “chatgpt.com” as an Desktop app. This topic was modified 4 months ago by baogiadiep.

My honest opinion!
First change: Translation to Brazilian Portuguese! As they say around here, I “parachuted” into this plugin… I was looking for something else, and I was surprised by the icon and title. I decided to click and see what it was. I confess that at first I didn’t understand how to activate it, but after I activated it,…

Absolute pure awesomeness
Makes you realize how terrible the WordPress admin UI really is. This is a game-changer. Can never go back!

FAVORITE PLUGIN EVER
