About

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.
