What is DeskBox?

DeskBox organizes desktop files, maps existing folders, and keeps everyday tools close without replacing Explorer or changing how your files work. Its real-folder-backed widgets make it a modern open-source alternative to tools such as Stardock Fences, while todos, quick notes, search, weather, and music controls remain useful extras rather than the product's core promise.
