The Launchpad Apple Removed

Apple removed Launchpad. We brought it back — and made it better. Full-screen app launcher with folders, search, sorting, trackpad gestures, and more. Built entirely in Swift.

Five ways to open. Pick your favorite.

However you used to open Launchpad, it still works. Keyboard shortcut, trackpad pinch, hot corners, custom shortcuts, or the menu bar — Retro Launch is always one gesture away.

  • Fn+F4 keyboard shortcut — the original key
  • Trackpad pinch — 4-finger pinch, just like before
  • Hot corners — configurable to any corner
  • Custom keyboard shortcut — any key combo you want
  • Menu bar icon — always accessible in your menu bar

Sorting

Sort your apps four different ways

Alphabetical, recently used, most frequently launched, or your own custom drag-and-drop order. Switch between them anytime.

  • Alphabetical — classic A-Z ordering
  • Recently Used — apps you launched most recently appear first
  • Frequently Used — your most-launched apps rise to the top
  • Custom — drag and drop to arrange exactly how you want

Folders

Organize with folders, just like iOS

Drag one app onto another to create a folder — just like on your iPhone. Rename folders, add or remove apps freely. Folders auto-dissolve when empty so your layout stays clean.

  • Drag-and-drop folder creation
  • Rename folders with a tap
  • Search finds apps inside folders
  • Auto-dissolve when empty

Three icon sizes, three grid densities, three animation speeds. Show or hide system apps, launch at login, show in all Spaces. Export your layout to back it up or share between Macs.

  • Icon size: small, medium, or large
  • Grid density: compact, normal, or spacious
  • Animation speed: fast, normal, or slow
  • Layout export/import for backup and migration
  • Wiggle mode — long-press to rearrange, just like iPhone
