TheDesk Next is a desktop social networking client for Mastodon with partial support for Misskey. Based on Fedistar, it provides a customizable interface for participating in decentralized social networks. Users can arrange multiple timelines into resizable columns and stack them vertically. A floating post composer simplifies writing updates while browsing other content. Timelines and accounts can be distinguished through customizable color settings. Additional options control timestamp formats, animated icons, long-post collapsing, and composer behavior. Media-only timelines help users browse image and video posts. Text-to-speech functionality can read timeline posts aloud. Spotify and Apple Music integrations display currently playing music on supported systems. TheDesk Next runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
