Hi Product Hunt! I'm Krrish, a designer at Phoenix Code.
My Mac desktop was always a mess, and folders never felt like a place I wanted to put things. So I made objects instead:
🧊 Desktop Fridge: drag files in, shut the door, forget about them
🗄️ Desktop Drawer: a wooden drawer that slides out from the bottom of your screen
📮 Desktop Mailbox: holds your files, and every now and then a letter arrives
🥤 Desktop Vending Machine: your files on little shelves. Press a button (or type a code) and one drops
Every object keeps the same promises:
• Your files move into one plain folder you can open in Finder. Nothing is copied or deleted.
• Put Back returns any file to where it came from, even after a restart.
• Nothing runs while you're not touching it, so it's easy on your battery.
• No network, no accounts, no tracking.
• Free and open source (MIT).
It's also a library anyone can add to. There's a template that already opens, closes and holds files, so making your own object is mostly drawing two pictures. You can build it with Phoenix Code, with the Terminal, or by pasting one prompt into an AI assistant.
One note: the apps aren't notarized by Apple yet, so the first time you open one, macOS will ask. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.
I'd love to know which object you'd want on your desktop next 👇
