Bumptop (Windows)

Many of us bleeding-edge computer geeks were excited to see Bumptop, a program that Bumptop screenshot allowed one to completely change how you interact with your desktop. Unfortunately, the honeymoon did not last long and Bumptop got eaten by a larger company for unknown purposes (in this case, Google).

It disappeared from the web and left many of us stuck Googling “where do I find Bumptop free” to no avail.

But now, I am pleased to write, Bumptop is once again available for download through Google Code (download link). It isn’t being very actively maintained and is still as buggy as it was when it originally became available, but you can (finally) get it again. 

What is Bumptop?
Bumptop allows you to interact with your computer desktop (and folders on the desktop) in a 3D environment. It changes how you manipulate files and folders, but also gives you better organizational abilities. You can group folders and files together in “piles”, name them, “fan” them out when you need them, pin things on the sides of the desktop, and much more.

Bumptop is designed to be easy to learn and provides a useful tutorial after installation to help the user become familiar with all of its features.

Hey! My name is Jesse Zylstra, and I am the administrator of this website. I used to write about free software and programs, online web applications, and new technology -- especially open-source. Now I just write udder nonsense. I also play pipe organ, which I'm told is a fun and interesting fact about me. In the past, I studied network administration. Now I've been trying to pursue a real fake bachelors degree for the last, oh, 10 years or so.
