Hi everyone!

As a power user who loves a clean desktop, I got tired of clutter but didn't want heavy, subscription-based software running in the background. So, I spent the last half-year building **DeskForge** – a lightweight, non-intrusive Windows desktop manager.

Here is a quick look at what it does and why I built it:

**✨ Key Features:**

* **Drawer Organization (Fences-like):** Group your icons/files into sleek, customizable panels. Expand on hover, or collapse them into thin edge lines.
* **Floating File Explorer:** Mount frequently used folders directly on your desktop for instant access.
* **Built-in Desktop Widgets:** Includes a Pomodoro timer, system metrics, time zone tools, and aesthetic clock faces (dive/aviator watch styles).
* **Non-Intrusive Layering:** Everything stays strictly on the desktop bottom layer. **No taskbar takeover, no interference with Alt+Tab, and zero focus-stealing.**

**🔒 Why DeskForge?**

* **100% Offline & Private:** No registration, no cloud sync, and zero background data uploading.
* **Ultra-Low Resource Usage:** Built with efficiency in mind—virtually zero impact on game/app performance.
* **One-Time Purchase:** No monthly subscriptions, no paid version-upgrades for basic compatibility. Buy once, keep it forever.

Compatibility: Works smoothly on **Windows 10 (1903+) and Windows 11**.

It's currently available on Steam! I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any feature requests you might have.
