TON ID: Your Mini App Desktop

Mini App • Search

About this App

There are so many Telegram mini-apps that the one you need is easy to lose: the link stayed in an old chat, the name slipped your mind. TON ID offers to gather everything in one place, on a personal desktop. 🖥

Here is what the app promises and how the mini-app world works in general.

What a personal desktop is

According to its description, TON ID gives you a desktop with hundreds of mini-apps. There is nothing to download, and no codes or registrations to deal with. It all starts with /start, after which you begin building your desktop.

The idea is familiar: shortcuts on one screen instead of digging through chats.

Profile and showcase

Besides the desktop itself, the app lets you set up a profile and share a showcase. Think of a page where you show friends the apps you like best.

Profile: your place inside the app.
Showcase: a selection you can share.
Discovery with friends: new apps every day, as the description puts it.

How mini-apps work in Telegram

A mini-app is a web service that opens inside the messenger. It works on both mobile and desktop versions. Sign-in usually goes through your Telegram account, so no separate password is needed.

Some mini-apps connect to the TON blockchain through TON Connect. If an app asks you to connect a wallet, that is a separate decision worth thinking over.

Catalog versus desktop

A catalog shows everything under the sun, while a desktop keeps what you really use. For regular mini-app users this saves time: games, tools and services sit side by side.

Remember that the apps inside are third-party. Their authors, not TON ID, answer for their content and safety.

What to check before launching other people's apps

Read which permissions the app requests.
Do not connect a wallet unless you need to.
Never enter a seed phrase or Telegram login codes.
Do not pay anyone promising guaranteed income.

These four steps apply to any mini-app. 🔒

Who it suits

People who use several mini-apps and are tired of hunting through chats. People who like sharing picks with friends. Newcomers too: you can start with one screen and figure things out gradually.

If you use only one or two services, you probably do not need a separate desktop. Saving a couple of links in Saved Messages is simpler then.
