Welcome to Launchie

When Apple released macOS 26 Tahoe, many users were disappointed to discover that beloved Launchpad features had been removed. No more icon rearranging, no custom folders, and limited organization options left power users feeling frustrated.

That’s why we created Launchie - to bring back everything you loved about the classic Launchpad, plus modern enhancements that make app launching even better.

What’s Different About Launchie?

🎯 Drag & Drop Reordering
