What it is

Desktop Organizer arranges Mac desktop files, folders, and icons into designated areas called File Zones. The app creates a DesktopOrganizer folder in a storage location you choose, with each desktop section corresponding to a folder there. The maker says the sections display folder contents and do not have permission to delete the original files. App Zones are separate: they launch apps chosen through a right-click menu, but do not accept files dragged into them. Users can choose from multiple zone themes, add decorative desktop widgets, and adjust zone size and position. Listed organization features include multi-tab zones, automatic expand and collapse, drag-and-drop sorting, and list view. Its version history notes display logic optimized for multi-monitor setups. Desktop Organizer requires macOS 12.0 or later. The maker's privacy policy says the app does not request, store, or collect personal, device, or other user data. A free download is available, with in-app purchases; paid options include $1.99 a month, $19.99 a year, and $24.99, paid once.
