Download PecoFence 0.2.3 for Windows

A free, open-source Stardock Fences alternative for Windows 11

Dayuan Jiang Notes & to-do

PecoFence organizes the Windows 11 desktop into glass fences. Group files and shortcuts into fences, keep real folders on the desktop as live portals, combine related fences into tabs, and bring everything above the current application with one shortcut. Rules file new items automatically, layouts can be snapshotted and restored, and the interface is available in ten languages. The bundled pecofence-cli command lets scripts and AI coding agents read and change fences, rules and settings. Native Rust application; the Settings window uses the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime that ships with Windows 11.
