LaunchHome
Feels like Apple never removed Launchpad
Launchpad has been gone since macOS 26. LaunchHome has everything it had: full-screen app grid, folders, drag to arrange, instant search, and the same look and feel. Plus what Launchpad never had: widgets (calculator, clock, clipboard history), files, links and Shortcuts right in the grid, and custom icons with clean uninstall. And it stays light: about 100 MB of memory, a 4 MB download. One license covers up to 3 Macs. Made by an indie dev who missed Launchpad too.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋
Remember pinching your trackpad and seeing all your apps spread out in front of you? That moment is gone since macOS 26, and I missed it more than I expected. Spotlight and the new Apps view just never felt the same.
So I built LaunchHome. Install it, press F4 or pinch your trackpad, and it's like Apple never removed Launchpad. Same grid, same folders, same feel. Upgraded from an older macOS? It can even bring back your old Launchpad layout, pages and folders included. No learning curve, no settings to figure out.
Then I added the little things I always wished Launchpad had:
- Widgets right on your grid: calculator, clock, clipboard history and more
- Files, links and Shortcuts can live in the grid next to your apps
- Type math in the search bar and get the answer instantly
- Custom icons and names for any app, plus a clean uninstall that removes leftover files too
And it stays out of your way: about 100 MB of memory, a 4 MB download. No tracking, and it works offline.
👉 Try it free for 7 days, no account or sign-up needed. It takes less than a minute to get your Launchpad back.
🎁 If you like it, use code PRODUCTHUNT for 50% off today. That's $4.95 instead of $9.90, one-time, no subscription, and one license covers 3 Macs.
I'd love to hear what you think, especially what you used Launchpad for. I'll be here all day replying to every comment 🙏
