DeskDesk

Flexible desk booking for open-office environments — pick a desk on a floor, book a slot, see it appear in your Nextcloud Calendar, and pull the booking how-tos straight from the company wiki. No separate booking tool, no second login.

What is DeskDesk?​

DeskDesk turns desk booking into a first-class part of the Nextcloud workspace. Browse the floor plan, see which desks are free for the slot you want, reserve one, and the booking lands in your Nextcloud Calendar automatically. Set up a recurring booking for the days you're always in. Open a desk and read the how-to articles for it — wiring, lockers, screen size — surfaced live from the company wiki via OpenConnector and xWiki.

DeskDesk is also a reference app for the Conduction stack: all data lives as typed OpenRegister objects with a per-record audit trail, knowledge is federated through OpenConnector, and the UI follows the NL Design System. Use it as the starting point for building your own register-backed Nextcloud app.

  • Floors, zones, desks — model the building once; bookings hang off it
  • Slot booking — full-day, AM/PM, or custom slots, with conflict checks
  • Calendar sync — every booking mirrored into Nextcloud Calendar
  • Recurring bookings — claim "every Tuesday" without re-booking
  • Desk knowledge — how-to articles per desk, federated from the wiki

Getting started​

Install DeskDesk from the Nextcloud app store or enable it in your Nextcloud admin settings, then set up your floors, zones and desks on the settings page.

  • New here? Start with the User guide — open the app, browse desks by floor, book a slot, set up a recurring booking, and see it in your calendar.
  • Setting things up for your office? See the Admin guide — model the building, connect the wiki knowledge source, tune settings.
