Summary
DeskBox is a free Windows app for organizing desktop files in virtual boxes, mapped folders, stacks, and groups. Its boxes support familiar file actions: drag and drop, rename, delete, open, and locate items in File Explorer. Mapped folders appear on the desktop while their original locations stay unchanged. Similar files can be stacked manually or automatically, and grouped boxes can be switched using the mouse wheel or Ctrl+Tab. A cleanup flow lets you choose files individually, include the public desktop, and resume an interrupted cleanup. Built-in boxes cover files, to-dos, notes, and music controls. DeskBox says files and related data stay on your computer and are not uploaded to the cloud by default. Built-in boxes have no feature restrictions, ads, or subscriptions; the app is listed as GPL-3.0-only with free personal use. It supports Windows 10 version 21H2 or later and Windows 11, with some materials and animations reduced on Windows 10. Direct installers support x64 or ARM64.
