Launchpad Classic
Your apps. Your order.
Open your Mac apps from a full-screen launcher with search, folders and a layout you can make your own. Choose a familiar grid or another view, arrange your apps and keep the ones you use easy to reach.
Features
Choose how your apps look
Switch between Classic, Watch, Tiles and Library views. The same app catalog stays available while you choose the presentation that suits your screen and browsing habits.
Start typing, find your app
Search by an app’s displayed name, file name or bundle identifier. Search results include apps organized inside folders, so you do not have to remember where you put them.
Group related apps into folders
Create a folder by grouping app icons, then name it for the way you work. Add or remove apps, change their order inside the folder and dissolve the group without moving or deleting the actual applications.
Browse by what an app does
Library view groups apps into categories such as productivity, communication, creative work and development. You can filter by category and change an app’s category when a different group makes more sense to you.
A size and theme that suit your screen
Choose small, medium or large icons and use a light, dark or system-matched appearance. The grid adapts its rows and columns to the available screen area, including inside folders.
Open the launcher without breaking your flow
Choose an F1–F12 shortcut with optional modifiers to open the launcher, then use arrows and Enter to select an app. Launchpad Classic opens on the display under your pointer; an optional trackpad pinch can also show or hide it on supported hardware.
