Apple removed Launchpad in macOS 26. CubbyPad brings back the full-screen app grid: pages, folders you arrange, F4, hot corners and the trackpad pinch. Then it goes further: a search bar that does maths, opens System Settings pages and runs your Shortcuts; Apple Intelligence that sorts your apps into folders on your Mac; and a row of the apps you use at this time of day. One-time purchase for 2 Macs, in 20 languages.
NotchMind turns your Mac notch into a home for everyday tools. New since launch: live Claude Code and Codex activity, a shake-to-open file Basket, customizable Home pages, searchable clipboard history, global shortcuts, call controls and a floating music player. Works on notchless displays too. Native macOS app for Apple silicon, macOS 15+. Pay once: $7.99 for 1 Mac, $12.99 for 2, or $19.99 for 5. All 1.x updates included. No subscription.
Meet Tappy, a little keycap who lives on your Mac's desktop. Tappy sweats when you type fast, gets dizzy when you slap your MacBook, eats when the charger goes in and naps when you're away. Coding with Claude Code, Codex or Cursor? Tappy chimes when your agent is done and sweats until you knock twice on your MacBook to answer. Plus 20 keyboard sounds, a lift alarm for café tables and Clean Mode for wiping the keys. Pay once, no subscription.
