FanFolder turns any folder into an animated, arc-shaped popup on the Windows
taskbar. Click the taskbar icon and the most recently modified items in a
configured folder fan out in a smooth animation. Open items, use the full
Windows shell context menu (right-click), or drag them into other applications.
Works with local folders as well as cloud-synced folders such as OneDrive,
Dropbox and Google Drive — always showing the latest files.
Key features:
- Multiple animation styles: Fan, Glide, Spring, Fade or None.
- Sort by date modified, date created or name, with optional filename regex filter.
- Configurable item count, folder path and display options via tray menu or registry.
- Full Windows shell context menu and drag-and-drop support.
- Per-user MSI install, no admin rights required.
- Native x64 and ARM64 builds.
- Small footprint and low memory usage.
Copy a command tailored to that specific architecture, type, and scope - useful when winget would otherwise pick a different default.

Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
