Launchy Launchpad

the free open-source launchpad alternative for macos tahoe

Launchy Launchpad launched on March 31, 2026 with 1 votes, #8,013 of 23,380 launches that month.

What it does

Launchy is the free open-source Launchpad alternative macOS users have been waiting for. Fullscreen mode mirrors the classic Launchpad feel but adds richer controls, while Floaty Mode doubles as a HUD with fast toggles that match modern macOS without changing the behavior you rely on.

    An open sourced version of Launchpad that I enhanced, you can import from old system Launchpad (just one click), and most of things look same. There are also a lot of functions, like adjust / display / hide icon size and title, localize icons, game controller support, i18n, voice over, etc. Still updating, open an issue if there are any problems. Hope this could help if someone updated to MacOS26 and not happy with new Launchpad :) Thank you.

It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
