What is DeskRipple?

DeskRipple puts expandable folder icons directly on the Windows desktop. They sit alongside your regular desktop icons, open into shortcut panels on hover or click, and collapse to a single icon when the pointer moves away. Each folder can use one of five animated layouts: Grid, Column, Row, Fan, or a 360° Ring.

Users can add app shortcuts, web links, documents, and other files. DeskRipple stores its own copy of each shortcut, so entries keep working if the originals are moved, renamed, or deleted. When a desktop shortcut is dragged into a folder, DeskRipple can safely archive the original and restore it when the entry is removed or the app is uninstalled. Profiles switch the whole desktop between setups — work, gaming, or a clean layout for screen sharing — without rebuilding your folders. Per-monitor DPI support keeps folders aligned and sized correctly across displays.
