    It's time to talk about Launchpad.

    Tim Cook, please pull up a chair. I don't think it's asking too much to give Launchpad an update. It was first introduced in 2011 and, from what I can recall, has received only one update in the subsequent 13 years - a feature that should have been there in the first place, which was... a...

    Launchpad needs a Finder icon

    I use Launchpad a lot since it’s so easy to access with a trackpad gesture. But… I wish I could click on a Finder icon in Launchpad. Any thoughts?

    Hiding Apps on Launchpad BigSur, is there a way?

    Is there a way to hide Apps via Terminal or any other method on BigSur, I'm quite fed up of the bloatware that Adobe CC installs such as helper apps and third party apps like Cinema 4D? J

    MP All Models Mail problems for older Macs but new Mac works fine

    I noticed that the Apple Mail app on my MacPro 6,1 started to have problems in getting new mail automatically a few months ago. If I manually fetch the mail, it still won't work. But if I quit the Mail app and start it again, it would work fine for some time. Then the same problem occurs later...

    Launchpad not saving customizations

    This is an issue that I also had with Sierra, hoping it'd be fixed with the update to HS. It didn't. Any customization that I do to Launchpad (icon rearrangement, app folders) is reset after every reboot. I like to keep all default apps in the first page and all other in the second page...

    Whenever I type anything, Mac auto typing into Launchpad search bar

    Whenever I type anything, be it in chrome, spotlight search, even this very textbook, my Mac has automatically typed it out into the launchpad search bar, and when I hit enter, an app opens up. It's getting very frustrating that everytime I go to facebook.com, facetime opens up with it. Are my...

    Upgrading to Sierra has messed up my carefully organized Launchpad, how do I restore the old layout?

    Maybe I haven't used Launchpad since upgrading to Sierra, I'm not sure, but today I noticed for the first time that my apps and folders in Launchpad are an absolute, complete mess, with multiple pages of unorganized icons. My custom folders are there, but they're all empty. All my apps are all...

    iCloud.com Launchpad Button

    Noticed this yesterday, but did they just change the 'home' button on iCloud.com to 'Launchpad?' Or am I that unobservant? I use the site every day, so I think I would've noticed. Kinda nice cosmetic change either way, makes for better consistency, though having an actual Launchpad.app in macOS...

    Is there such thing as a Quiet Mechanical Wired Ten-Keyless Mac Keyboard?

    Launchpad resets every time I log in

    I reset my launchpad because I was having problems, which worked but now it resets every time I log in. Having gone through the common recommendations in this reddit thread, it seems the problem is likely corrupted files. Most advice tells you to delete everything in ~/Library/Application...
