DeskRipple keeps each group of shortcuts in a single folder icon on the Windows 10 and 11 desktop. Hover or click to open a group, then it closes as you move on. The icons sit behind normal windows and snap to the desktop icon grid. Each folder can use Grid, Column, Row, Fan, or a full 360° Ring.

Add app shortcuts, web links, documents, files, and Microsoft Store apps. DeskRipple keeps its own copy of each shortcut and web link. By default, desktop shortcuts dragged into DeskRipple are archived and return when their entries are removed or the app is uninstalled. Copy mode leaves the originals in place. Named profiles let you switch between desktop setups.

Try DeskRipple free for 14 days, with every feature included. No account or payment details are required to start. If it fits your workflow, DeskRipple is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.

For Windows 10 (22H2) and Windows 11, 64-bit (x64). Shortcuts and settings stay on the PC. The app checks GitHub for updates; diagnostics are optional and off by default. The installer is code-signed; SmartScreen may still warn.
