--- title: "Find and share" description: "Browse widgets, themes, dashboards and materials, try one on, send one home from glasshome.app, share your own with other homes, and take it down again." canonical: https://glasshome.app/docs/dash/guides/find-and-share section: "Guides" updated: 2026-10-08 --- # Find and share Bring in a theme, a material or a dashboard that someone else made, and share your own back with other homes. Everything you find lives in one browser. ## Before you start - Built-in themes, built-in materials and starter dashboards need nothing: no account and no Pro. - Using something from another home, adding a shared dashboard, sending from glasshome.app and sharing your own need [Pro](/docs/hub/pro) and a GlassHome account linked to your home. Sharing also needs a username on that account. ## Step 1: Open the browser (Computer) Tap **Add widget** on a dashboard, or go to **Settings** and choose **Browse** under **Theme** or **Dashboards**. The browser has four tabs: **Widgets**, **Themes**, **Dashboards** and **Materials**. The Dashboards tab only shows to people who can edit dashboards. ![A dashboard with its background menu open, showing Add widget](/assets/guides/find-and-share/01-open-browser.webp) ## Step 2: Open the Themes tab (Computer) Tap the palette to browse themes. The other tabs work the same way. ![The browser on its Widgets tab, with the Themes tab about to be tapped](/assets/guides/find-and-share/02-themes.webp) ## Step 3: Find something (Computer) Search, or use the chips: **Built in** ships with GlassHome, **Official** is made by us, **Community** is made by other homes, and **Yours** lists what you shared. **Popular** and **Newest** change the order. Keep scrolling for more. ![The Themes tab with the chips All, Built in, Official, Community and Yours above the theme grid](/assets/guides/find-and-share/03-chips.webp) ## Step 4: Try it on (Computer) A built-in theme has **Use**, which wears it straight away, and **Customize**, which opens a copy in the creator studio. A shared theme or material has **Try on my dashboard**: the studio opens with it, and saving keeps it. A shared dashboard has **Add to my home**, which makes a new dashboard with an empty spot for each widget. You pick your own devices for each one. ![A built-in theme open in the browser, with Customize and Use at the bottom right](/assets/guides/find-and-share/04-use.webp) ## Step 5: Look at materials (Computer) The **Materials** tab works the same way: find a material, look at it, and try it on. ![The browser with the Materials tab about to be tapped, beside the Themes tab](/assets/guides/find-and-share/05-materials.webp) ## Step 6: Share your own theme (Computer) Open the menu on the theme's name at the top of the creator studio and choose **Share with other homes**. You can also right-click, or long-press, the theme in **Settings > Theme** and choose the same. ![Settings with the Theme section open, showing My theme under Made here](/assets/guides/find-and-share/06-my-theme.webp) ## Step 7: Choose Share with other homes (Computer) Right-click, or long-press, the theme and choose **Share with other homes**. The menu also has **Use**, **Edit** and **Delete**. ![The menu of My theme open in Settings, with Share with other homes highlighted](/assets/guides/find-and-share/07-share-menu.webp) ## Step 8: See what goes out (Computer) Each share dialog shows exactly what goes out and what stays in your home. Sharing needs a linked GlassHome account, and the dialog says so with a button to **Open Settings**. Your devices, rooms, home name, anything you typed into a widget, photos and location stay home. ![The Share this theme dialog, with a preview, a note that a GlassHome account must be linked, and the Name field](/assets/guides/find-and-share/08-share-dialog.webp) ## More ways to find and share - **Send one home from glasshome.app.** Every shared theme, material and dashboard has its own page on glasshome.app. Sign in there and press **Send to my home**. The next time you open the browser, it waits at the top of its tab, marked **Sent from glasshome.app**. A send you never use goes away after 30 days. - **Share your own material.** In the creator studio's **Material** tab, open the menu beside **Fine-tune** and choose **Share with other homes**. Pick up to three things other homes may tune, like the glow or the accent. - **Share your own dashboard.** Right-click or long-press the dashboard and choose **Share dashboard**, or use the share button on its row in **Settings > Dashboards**. - **Take it down.** Open the menu on the shared item in **Settings > Theme** or **Settings > Dashboards** and choose **Take down**. Nobody new can find it after that; homes that already added it keep their copy. > **If something looks off:** Sharing something again updates the copy you shared before. Homes that already added it keep the copy they have, and everyone who finds it from then on gets the new one. ## You are done when The item is in your home, where you would look for it: themes under **Settings > Theme**, dashboards under **Settings > Dashboards**.
