Bring back Launchpad
Bring back a Launchpad-style launcher on Mac
You cannot turn the old Apple Launchpad back on with a simple setting, but you can get the familiar visual workflow back with Liqunch.
For many Mac users, Launchpad was not just another way to open apps. It was a visual habit: pages, icons, folders, and a sense of where everything lived. Liqunch is made for people who want that feeling back on modern macOS.
Start with what you miss
If what you miss is typing an app name, Spotlight already covers that. If what you miss is a full-screen place to browse apps visually, Liqunch is closer to the old Launchpad habit.
- Open a clean app grid from a shortcut, gesture, Dock, or menu bar.
- Scan icons visually when you do not know the exact app name.
- Keep daily tools easier to reach and hide apps you rarely open.
- Use the launcher as a calm home for installed apps, not another command palette.
Use it alongside the Mac tools you already have
Liqunch does not need to replace the ways macOS already lets you open apps. It fills a different job: a visual launcher for people who think in icons, groups, and spatial memory.
Built for macOS 26 and macOS 27
Liqunch is designed for macOS 26 Tahoe, macOS 27, and newer compatible versions. It follows modern macOS visual language while keeping the interaction simple and familiar.
Try before you decide
Liqunch has a free version, so you can try the basic Launchpad-style experience before deciding whether the Pro features are useful for your setup.
