Install Launchie on macOS

Pick the best method (Mac App Store, Homebrew, or manual) to install Launchie.

Installing Launchie is straightforward, and you can choose the method that fits your workflow. Here’s how to stay up to date on macOS 26 Tahoe (Apple Silicon only).

  1. Open the Launchie listing on the Mac App Store.
  2. Click Get to install (or Update if you already have Launchie).
  3. Launchie will install into /Applications and receive future updates automatically through the App Store.

2. Homebrew

Perfect for developers and power users. Launchie ships in the main cask tap.

brew install --cask launchie

Updating and managing Launchie with Homebrew:

# Update to the latest version
brew update && brew upgrade --cask launchie

# Remove Launchie
brew uninstall --cask launchie

# Inspect the cask metadata
brew info --cask launchie

3. Manual download from GitHub

  1. Grab the latest .dmg or .zip from the GitHub release page.
  2. Open the archive and drag Launchie.app into /Applications.
  3. On first launch, right-click the app, choose Open, and confirm the Gatekeeper dialog. That step is only required once.

System requirements

  • macOS 26 Tahoe or newer
  • Apple Silicon Mac (M1, M2, M3, or newer). Intel might work. Not tested.
