DeskDrawer before and after — a cluttered Windows desktop reorganized into clean, transparent drawers of icons

A desktop organizer that stays out of the way

Group your desktop icons into transparent boards while your files stay exactly where they are. Your desktop still works like your desktop.

Drawers for everything

Sort desktop icons, files, folders, and shortcuts into clean, labeled drawers. Drag to move, fold a drawer to a compact square when you need room.

Buy once, use for life

A single one-time purchase. No subscription, no renewals, no upsells — you own it. Delivered and updated through the Microsoft Store.

Genuinely lightweight

Runs quietly from the system tray with no heavy background services. Near-zero idle CPU and a small footprint — it organizes your desktop, nothing else.

Native desktop feel

Open, rename, delete, copy, paste, drag, and use the real Windows right-click menu — with a familiar, desktop-like experience.

Private & local

No ads, no telemetry, no analytics, no accounts. DeskDrawer runs entirely on your device and never phones home.

No wasted space

Compact controls instead of bulky board title bars. More of each drawer is used for your icons, not for the tool itself.

See it on a real desktop

Transparent boards sit on your wallpaper. Your files never move — DeskDrawer just remembers which drawer each icon belongs to.
