Workspace clutter container

A desktop organizer is a container or system for holding office supplies and small items on a desk—pens, paper clips, sticky notes, scissors.

Desktop organizers range from simple cups to elaborate multi-compartment trays.

The term also applies to software that manages files and applications on a computer screen: I use a desktop organizer to keep my icons sorted.
