Plans
In their own words
Coodesker
Coodesker organizes Windows desktop shortcuts, icons and running tasks in multi-tab boxes designed to save desktop space. Users can hide file names to leave icons visible, create rules that direct new icons into selected boxes, and mirror PC folders onto the desktop as boxes. The software supports saved layouts and hardware-accelerated rendering, and is designed to use little hardware resource. It runs on Windows 7 and later, with x64, x86 and ARM64 installers. A free plan and free trial are listed. The Download version costs $5.70, paid once, while the Steam version costs $8.70, paid once; each plan includes Windows 7+, three computers and lifetime updates. One license can activate three devices simultaneously. Offline activation is available, but an offline activation code cannot be unbound. The privacy policy says the software does not collect personally identifiable information, while hardware identifiers are collected for activation. It also says personal information collected in China is stored in China. Support is provided through email, QQ and a user forum.
