Facts

Purpose
Dasktop is a lightweight Windows desktop organizer that groups files, folders, and shortcuts in movable, resizable Boxes while preserving their original locations and Windows opening behavior.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
Intended users
It is designed for people who keep temporary materials, project files, app shortcuts, system desktop icons, or client documents on their desktop.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
Organization
Users can create multiple Boxes to group desktop items by work, projects, materials, tools, or other scenarios.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
Box layout
Boxes can be moved and resized, with snapping near screen edges and other Boxes.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
System icons
Boxes can collect This PC, Recycle Bin, Network, Control Panel, and the user folder, with native icons hidden or restored based on Box references.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
Appearance
The app offers light, dark, and system themes and settings for opacity, corner radius, icon size, text size, and spacing.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
Windows behavior
Files open with Windows default apps, and file context menus retain native Windows capabilities.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
Startup and tray
Dasktop can launch at Windows sign-in and restore the previous layout; its system tray can open settings, create a Box, toggle desktop icon visibility, or quit.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
Safety
Collecting system desktop icons stores references, and hiding native icons does not move, empty, or delete desktop files; Dasktop restores the previous icon visibility state when it exits.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
Deletion behavior
Deleting a Box applies the current deletion policy to its real collection folder, and the README advises checking that policy and any content to keep first.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
Support and maturity
The project describes itself as an early public version and invites users to report issues, including drag-and-drop, runtime dependency, window layering, uninstall, and Windows compatibility problems.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
Distribution
