Launchy Launchpad

the free open-source launchpad alternative for macos tahoe

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.
