DeskBox is a free, open-source Windows desktop organizer built with WinUI 3 and .NET 10 that arranges desktop files into native-feeling widgets backed by real folders. It also offers todo, quick notes, search, weather, and music-control widgets while keeping all data local.
Use cases
- organize messy desktop files into fenced groups
- find an open-source Stardock Fences alternative for Windows
- keep todos and quick notes on the desktop
- control music playback from the desktop
- check weather from a desktop widget
- map existing folders onto the desktop without moving files
When to choose
- you want a native WinUI 3 tool instead of an Electron app
- you need local-first storage with no cloud sync
- you run Windows 10 21H2+ or Windows 11 on x64 or ARM64
- you want files to stay as ordinary files in real folders
When to avoid
- you need macOS or Linux support
- you rely on full visual customization on Windows 10, where features are limited
- you want cloud sync across devices
- you need a cross-platform desktop organizer
