LaunchOS

LaunchOS provides a native macOS application launcher that replaces the built‑in Launchpad. It presents apps in a grid that can be customized, supports folder organization, and allows users to rename apps or hide those they do not want to see. The interface includes a vertical scroll view and a window‑browsing mode for navigating large collections.

Interaction options include launching apps via a global hotkey, a trackpad gesture, hot‑corner activation, or the F4 keyboard key. Right‑click menus give quick access to additional actions, and the program can be invoked from the macOS menu bar. The software is built specifically for macOS 26 (Tahoe) and runs as a native, non‑sandboxed application.

The feature set is aimed at users who prefer a visual, grid‑based launcher over Spotlight, and who want more control over layout and app visibility. It is positioned as a stable, single‑device solution with optional licenses for multiple Macs.
