Apple removed Launchpad in macOS 26 and kept it out of 27. Launchie brings the grid back: arrange apps your way, unlimited folders, Spaces for separate app pages, and instant search. Free to use, Pro is a one-time purchase. Mac App Store and Homebrew.

This is exactly what I needed...... missing Launchpad after upgrading to MacOS 26 has been driving me crazy. Great to see you tackled this solo. Is there a way to customize app groups too?

@cruise_chen Thank you!
I am actively developing the app, there are a lot of features on my todo :)
Could you specify what you mean with customize app groups? Different Folder colors?
Nice throwback! Bringing Launchpad flexibility back to macOS feels long overdue IMO. Does Launchie sync folder setups or shortcuts across devices, or is it local-only for now?

@roozbehfirouz thanks! Currently local only, but this is a nice idea for future versions! Will add it to my feature wishlist

Isn't this Launchpad in Tahoe?
Ah, I see. Tahoe removed icon rearranging and custom folders...

Finally, a Mac launchpad alternative that’s actually searchable and modern! Congrats on building such a clean experience.

@vladimir_lugovsky Thank you Vladimir!
Love how Launchie brings more customization back to Launchpad — drag & drop, custom folders, and hotkeys sound like a productivity boost for macOS users. Great to see a free tool that enhances usability. Curious — does it also support smart search or app grouping based on usage patterns?
