What Coodesker is
Coodesker is a Windows utility for organizing desktop shortcuts, icons, and running tasks. It groups desktop items into multi-tab boxes to save space, and can hide file names so that only icons appear. Users can create rules to sort new icons into selected boxes, or mirror a PC folder onto the desktop as a box. The software runs on Windows 7 and later, with x64, x86, and ARM64 installers. Hardware-accelerated rendering is designed to use little hardware resource. The free plan and free trial are listed. The Download version costs $5.70, paid once, while the Steam version costs $8.70, paid once; both cover three computers and lifetime updates. One license can be active on three devices at a time. Offline activation is supported, but an offline activation code cannot be unbound. The privacy policy says the product collects hardware identifiers for activation, while stating it does not collect personally identifiable information. It also says personal information collected in China is stored there. Support is available through email, QQ, and a user forum.
