Bookmarks
Bookmarks are the core of Lastboard: quick-launch tiles that link to your apps, services, and sites. This guide covers creating and customizing them, organizing them into sections, and controlling how they behave on mobile.
Adding a Bookmark
Section titled “Adding a Bookmark”Enter Edit Mode (the pencil/edit toggle in the top bar) and use the Add menu to create a new bookmark. A dialog opens with two tabs: General and Customization.
General Options
Section titled “General Options”| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Icon | Pick an icon from the built-in icon search, or provide a direct image URL. If left empty, the first letter of the label is used as a placeholder. |
| Label | The name shown on the tile. |
| Label Position | Where the label appears relative to the tile: Bottom (default), Top, Off (icon only), or Section (renders the label as a section-style header). |
| URL | The destination address. A protocol dropdown lets you choose https:// or http://. |
| Status Monitor | When enabled, Lastboard periodically checks whether the URL is reachable and shows an up/down status indicator on the tile. You can place the indicator in the top or bottom corner, or turn it off. |
| Show on Mobile | Controls whether the bookmark appears on touch devices. See Mobile Visibility and Ordering below. |
Customization Options
Section titled “Customization Options”The Customization tab controls the tile’s appearance:
- Color: The accent/border color of the tile.
- Border Width: How thick the tile’s border is (set to
0for no border).
Sections
Section titled “Sections”A Section is a container that groups related bookmarks together under a title. Create one from the Add menu, then drag bookmarks into it to nest them. Sections keep large dashboards organized and can be resized like any other item.
Reordering & Search
Section titled “Reordering & Search”- Drag to reorder: In Edit Mode, drag any bookmark (or section) to reposition it on the grid. The layout is saved automatically.
- Search: Use the search box in the top bar to filter bookmarks by label in real time.
Mobile Visibility and Ordering
Section titled “Mobile Visibility and Ordering”Lastboard renders a simplified, touch-friendly layout on phones. You have full control over which bookmarks appear there and in what order.
Hiding a bookmark from mobile (desktop editor)
Section titled “Hiding a bookmark from mobile (desktop editor)”When editing a bookmark on desktop, the Show on Mobile control (the phone icon with an eye) toggles whether that bookmark appears on touch devices. Bookmarks hidden this way simply don’t render on mobile.
The mobile edit sheet
Section titled “The mobile edit sheet”On a touch device, tapping the edit toggle in the top bar opens a bottom sheet that manages both visibility and order. It has two sections:
- Visible on mobile — the bookmarks currently shown on your phone. Drag the handle (the dots on the right of each row) to reorder them.
- Hidden — bookmarks currently hidden from mobile, shown dimmed.
Each row has an eye button (to the left of the drag handle):
- Tap the eye on a visible row to hide it — it slides down into the Hidden section.
- Tap the eye on a hidden row to show it again — it moves back to the end of the Visible on mobile list.
Changes are deferred: nothing is saved until you tap Save changes. Tapping Cancel (or closing the sheet) discards everything. This means you can freely rearrange and toggle visibility, then commit it all at once — or back out with no effect.
Note: The mobile order and desktop grid order are independent. Reordering on mobile does not change your desktop layout, and vice versa.
