## What DeskBox Does

DeskBox helps Windows users organize their desktop without replacing the native Windows desktop shell. It adds lightweight desktop widgets for file organization, mapped folders, todos, quick capture notes, recent copied content, and music controls.

DeskBox is local-first. Files remain normal Windows files, and user data such as todos, quick notes, settings, recent content, and thumbnail caches stay on the user's own computer.

## Core Features

- File widgets: collect desktop files into real local folders.
- Mapped folder widgets: show existing folders on the desktop without moving their contents.
- Todo widget: keep short-lived tasks visible on the desktop.
- Quick Capture widget: save text, links, screenshots, images, and recent copied content.
- Music widget: control Windows media sessions, playback mode, system volume, and visualizers from the desktop.
- Native-first design: DeskBox prioritizes WinUI 3, Windows App SDK, Windows shell behavior, and restrained dependencies.
