Before and after
Drag the line to compare. Same files in the same place; Desklot just draws them grouped by what arrived together.
Files land on your Desktop all day: a client's contract, a few photos, last month's leftovers.
Desklot notices which files came in together and gives each batch its own glass box.
Name a box once and it keeps the name. Quit the app and your Desktop is exactly as it was.

How it works
What happens to your files, your privacy and your Mac.
Everything stays in ~/Desktop. Desklot hides Finder's icons while it runs and draws its own. Files only move when you ask.
No analytics and no account. It only goes online to check your license, look for updates and, if it crashes, send an anonymous report you can turn off.
Copy Text and Read QR Code use Apple's Vision framework on your Mac. Images are never uploaded.
Trash, archive, send and cleanup all come with Undo. Quit, and your Desktop looks exactly as before.
14 days with everything. No account, no card.
Everything included
