LaunchUS: Launchpad for macOS 26+, free and open source.
In a paragraph
macOS 26 replaced Launchpad with the Apps window. LaunchUS brings the full-screen grid back: pages, folders, drag-to-organize and type-to-search, and it imports your old Launchpad layout by itself. It adds widgets, multiple layouts, new arrangements like Ring, and backgrounds that follow the weather. LaunchUS is written natively in Swift, under 9 MB, with every feature free and the code open source under the MIT license.
