SideSlide from Northglide Systems is a free desktop organiser that adds a workspace docked to the edge of the screen. It stays collapsed out of the way and slides out when the mouse touches the edge, revealing containers that hold shortcuts to programs, files, folders and web pages, notes, images and other items arranged the way the user likes.

Keeps shortcuts, notes and feeds in a panel that slides out when needed.

A dock strip shows system information and the weather, an RSS reader with filters follows news feeds, and floating notes can be encrypted. Reminders pop up at set times, picture slideshows can run in the panel, and a launcher with keyboard shortcuts and a calculator speeds up work. Items are added by drag and drop, themes change the look, and a portable edition is available.
