Features
Launchpad Reimagined
Experience a full-screen SwiftUI overlay with fluid pagination, subtle animations, and a design that blends into the desktop.
Smart Catalog
Automatically indexes apps from system and user application folders, keeping Launchy up to date without manual curation.
Folders & Editing
Create, rename, or dissolve folders with the familiar wiggle edit mode and responsive drag-and-drop behaviour.
Type to Find
Incremental search spans display names and bundle identifiers, with keyboard capture ensuring focus stays where you need it.
Background Friendly
Optional daemon mode hides the Dock icon and keeps a menu bar item handy for fast relaunching.
Configurable Layout
Choose grid columns and rows, tune scroll sensitivity, and tailor Launchy to your workspace.
Get Started
Install
Download the latest release, unzip Launchy.app.zip, and drag Launchy.app to your Applications folder.
Accessibility Permission
On first launch, approve accessibility access so Launchy can listen for keyboard shortcuts while in the background.
Preferences
Open Settings (⌘,) to set grid size, scroll sensitivity, and background behaviour.
