DeskRipple keeps each group of shortcuts in a single folder icon on your Windows desktop. Hover or click an icon and it opens into a panel of its shortcuts, then closes back to one icon when you're done, so the desktop stays clear without burying anything. The icons sit with your normal desktop icons, behind your windows and snapped to the real grid, and each folder can open as a Grid, Column, Row, Fan, or 360° Ring. Shortcuts you drag in are archived, not deleted: remove one or uninstall and it's restored to the desktop. Works on Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit), with no account and a code-signed installer. Free during the public beta. A one-time paid version is planned later (not a subscription), and beta testers get a founder discount. Beta builds auto-update, and this build stops working on September 1, 2026.

Considering the various display options like Fan or 360° Ring, which layout has been the most surprisingly effective or popular among beta testers for managing their shortcuts?
I'm the developer, so treat this as one data point rather than a survey: diagnostics are opt-in and off by default, so I don't have a real usage ranking.
The Ring is the one that gets the reaction in screenshots, but Grid is what I keep on every folder of my own. Past about six shortcuts a block reads fastest.
Fan and Ring earn their place on small folders. With four or five icons they land right next to the cursor and you barely move the mouse. Wider than that and they sprawl.
If you try it, I'd like to know which one you find the most useful.
