Website launchie.app
Overview

What it is

Launchie brings back the power of Launchpad with drag & drop reordering, custom folders, and customizable hotkeys for macOS 26 Tahoe. Free download for Apple Silicon Macs.

Intent

I need it when

Restore the visual Launchpad experience after Apple removed it in macOS Tahoe

Launchie recreates the fullscreen grid-based app launcher with drag-and-drop folder organization, custom hotkeys (⌘K), and visual browsing—directly replacing the classic Launchpad workflow that macOS Tahoe eliminated.

Customize app launcher appearance and behavior to match personal workflow

Launchie provides full customization: choose between modern Liquid Glass UI or traditional sheet look, adjust hotkeys, hide unwanted apps (Pro), customize icon sizes, and select layout options to match individual preferences.

Organize and quickly access applications through visual folders and custom layouts

Launchie enables drag-and-drop app reordering, custom folder grouping by project or category, flexible grid layouts, and smart lists (recently used, most used, newest apps) to keep workspace tidy and apps discoverable.

Preserve app organization and launcher settings across device resets or new Macs

Launchie includes backup and restore functionality to save your complete setup (folder structure, app positions, settings) and restore it anytime, preventing loss of organization on new devices.

Launch applications faster with keyboard shortcuts and visual search

Launchie offers instant access via custom hotkeys or ⌘K, smart search to find and launch apps in seconds, and hot corner activation (Pro) to open the launcher from screen edges without mouse movement.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User requires keyboard-first automation workflows (Raycast or Alfred are better fits)
  • User needs advanced command execution and scripting capabilities beyond app launching
  • User runs Intel-based Macs (Launchie requires Apple Silicon: M1, M2, M3 or newer)
  • User operates on macOS versions older than macOS 26 Tahoe
  • User prefers alphabetical-only app ordering without custom folder organization
