LaunchOS is the best Launchpad replacement out there, but organizing apps still means manually dragging everything into folders. Apple’s new Applications view in macOS 26 already auto-groups apps by category (Productivity, Utilities, Games, etc.) with zero effort. It would be great if LaunchOS could offer something similar: Auto-group by App Store category. Apps already have this metadata. LaunchOS could use it to pre-sort apps into folders automatically. Custom grouping via a config file. Let users define categories in a JSON or text file so apps get sorted without manual drag-and-drop. Apple Intelligence integration. Use on-device AI to suggest or auto-assign categories, especially for apps without clear metadata. LaunchOS already nails the classic Launchpad experience. Smart auto-grouping would put it ahead of what Apple ever shipped.

My favourite personally is launchie only because of its spaces feature , buho launchpad is the smoothest , launchos feels teh most native
I agree, that’s why I use LaunchOS. Honestly the one feature I wish it had is the ability to import a Markdown file (or even just a list of apps) and have AI auto-group them into folders. Feels like a no-brainer addition.
Yeah if launchie wasnt there i would use launchos The markdown file idea is great
Yep, looking forward to developers adapting to the new feature.
That's true, I like that and the native Tahoe feel.
the auto-grouping in macOS 26 already ruined me for any launcher that makes you drag stuff manually
LaunchOS runs more smoothly than other similar applications, which is why I use it.
