A better place for everyday folders

One small idea that makes
your whole desktop feel calmer.

Screen Folders brings the familiar feel of iPhone folders to your Mac, without replacing Finder or changing where your files live.

01

Hover. Expand. Get to work.

A compact preview opens into a full file grid only when your pointer movement is intentional.

02

Real files. Real Finder behavior.

Open, rename, drag, copy, delete, or preview with Quick Look. Your folders remain normal folders everywhere.

03

Any folder can feel at home.

Create a fresh managed folder or link one you already use. Changes stay in sync because Finder remains the source of truth.

Feels right at home

Everything you expect
from a great Mac utility.

Thoughtful behavior, familiar controls, and just enough customization—without turning your desktop into another system to manage.

Good to know

Simple by design.

Does Screen Folders replace Finder?+

No. Finder stays in charge of your desktop and files. Screen Folders adds a lightweight layer for the folders you want close at hand.

Does it move or copy my existing folders?+

Not when you link a folder. It stays exactly where it is, and Screen Folders displays a live view of its contents.

Can I use it on more than one display?+

Yes. Each Screen Folder remembers its desktop placement, including the display where you put it.

What Mac do I need?+

Screen Folders requires macOS 26 or later.
