Independent, not made by Apple
Liqunch is an independent macOS utility. It restores a familiar Launchpad-style workflow, but it is not an Apple product.
Liqunch Features
A classic macOS Launchpad alternative for macOS 26 Tahoe, macOS 27, and newer versions — familiar where it matters, calmer where daily use needs it.
Liqunch focuses on the small interactions that make a launcher feel native: opening it quickly, scanning apps visually, moving through pages without friction, and keeping the grid tidy over time.
Designed for macOS 26 and macOS 27
Liqunch is built for macOS 26 Tahoe, macOS 27, and newer versions where the required system APIs remain compatible.
Free to start
You can download Liqunch for free and upgrade only when the Pro features fit the way you use your Mac.
Classic Launchpad experience
Built to feel familiar on modern macOS
Liqunch brings back the visual app grid many Mac users still expect from Launchpad. It keeps the familiar full-screen launcher feeling while fitting naturally with macOS 26 Tahoe, macOS 27, and newer versions.
Native Swift performance
The launcher opens quickly, stays responsive, and avoids the heavy feeling that can make app launchers get in the way.
Launchpad-style visual grid
Apps stay easy to scan at a glance, so you can launch by memory instead of typing every app name into search.
Liquid Glass look
The interface follows modern macOS aesthetics without losing the simple shape of the classic Launchpad experience.
Organize apps without clutter
A grid that adapts to your Mac
Liqunch gives you a customizable app grid for different screen sizes and habits. Keep daily tools close, hide apps you rarely open, and choose the browsing style that feels right.
Customizable grid layout
Adjust density and spacing so the launcher fits your display, wallpaper, and preferred visual rhythm.
Hide unused apps
Keep the launcher focused by hiding apps that do not need to be part of your daily app launching flow.
Recent apps
Keep frequently used apps within easy reach instead of hunting through a crowded Applications folder.
Fast ways to open Liqunch
Hotkeys and gestures for Mac muscle memory
A Launchpad replacement only works if it is effortless to open. Liqunch supports global hotkeys and native trackpad gestures, so the launcher is available from wherever you are working.
Global hotkey launch
Open Liqunch from anywhere with a shortcut, including workflows where your hands stay on the keyboard.
Trackpad gesture launch
Use familiar pinch gestures to summon the app launcher in a way that feels close to the old macOS Launchpad habit.
Fullscreen or windowed
Use a focused full-screen view when you want the classic feel, or a lighter window when you only need a quick picker.
Useful tools around the launcher
Small helpers that stay out of the way
Liqunch also includes practical Mac utilities for people who live in many apps: input method switching, menu bar resource monitoring, and quick sleep prevention.
Input method switching
Assign a preferred input method to each app and let Liqunch switch it when you open or focus that app.
Menu bar resource monitor
Keep CPU, GPU, memory, disk, and network speed visible from the menu bar without opening another utility.
Prevent sleep quickly
Temporarily keep your Mac awake for downloads, meetings, long-running jobs, or any task that should not be interrupted.
