Bring your desktop back to life
Organize your desktop with panels that hold your things.
- Access files, folders and apps from your desktop
- Drop files, folders, links and .desktop launchers inside panels
- Resize, position and color panels
- Display photos and keep notes on your desktop
- Reveal the desktop with ⌘-D
Open it like any other app after installing. Desktop Folder will launch automatically when you next log in.
Get it for $0 on AppCenter
Get Desktop Folder and more on elementary AppCenter, the open, pay-what-you-can app store for indie developers. Every app is open source and has been reviewed and curated by elementary to ensure a native, privacy-respecting, and secure experience.
Note: This app is only available for elementary OS 5.1 Hera. If you’re on elementary OS 6 Odin, it will not appear in AppCenter. You can reach out to the developer and ask that they update it for OS 6.
