Launchie - Version 1.5.2 released - up to 45% off

macOS removed Launchpad. Launchie brings it back — and makes it more customizable. Hi r/MacApps, I’m the developer of Launchie, a Mac App Store app built after Apple removed Launchpad from macOS. Problem Launchpad used to be a simple, visual way to open and organize apps on macOS. Since Apple removed it, there is no real built-in replacement for people who liked having an app grid, folders, and quick access to their installed apps. Launchie brings that workflow back, but with more control: Launchpad-style app grid Folders and Spaces for organizing apps Drag and drop rearranging Keyboard shortcut, hot corner, app icon, or menu bar activation Customizable layout, window size, columns, Quick Access, hidden apps, and more I built Launchie because I personally missed that workflow, and a lot of users seemed to feel the same. Comparison There are already other good apps in this space, including LaunchNext and LaunchOS. Launchie’s focus is slightly different: I’m trying to keep the original Launchpad feeling, while adding deeper customization and a more native macOS-style experience. For example, Launchie supports folders, Spaces, drag-and-drop organization, Quick Access, hot corners, keyboard shortcuts, and a lot of layout options. I’m also actively developing it based on user feedback. Many of the recent changes came directly from emails, DMs, and comments from users. I reply to feedback, and when an idea makes sense for the app, I try to implement it. Pricing Launchie is currently on sale in July, with up to 45% off depending on your region.
