Kuro Desktop Organizer

From a wallpaper system to a real macOS app: one place to design the background and keep the Desktop organised.

The project

Background, layout and icons work as one system.

Kuro recognises connected displays and Mac safe areas, lets people build organisational wallpapers, and saves Desktop icon positions. Configurations can be restored when the setup changes, without moving, renaming or deleting files.

Product principle

Visual order becomes an operational tool.

The interface connects wallpaper design with Desktop management. Labels, colours, margins, dividers and safe areas remain editable; preview, history and restore actions keep every change controlled.

Features

Five modules, one continuous workflow.

  1. 01Background

    Create, apply and restore wallpapers tailored to each display and its safe areas.

  2. 02Layout Designer

    Resize areas, labels, colours, margins and dividers with a live preview.

  3. 03Desktop Layout

    Save and restore icon positions across one or more displays.

  4. 04Presets & Kuro Pack

    Reuse and share complete configurations without rebuilding them.

  5. 05Continuity

    History, folder icons, menu-bar access and automations keep the system maintainable.

The system

Change displays without losing order.

Kuro records the display configuration and icon coordinates. If the setup changes, it offers proportional mapping and preserves an undo snapshot before restoring. The app only changes positions managed by Finder.
