it is funny, all other apps seem to be working fine, except their own Finder. It displays funky when it is in column view
 
Would really love to know if DaVinci resolve 20 is working. Rekordbox (USB Export), and Dropbox (those on file provider update & those on not), OBS studio, Serato DJ
 
So the big thing is any Web App/Add To Dock App that was removed from the dock DOES NOT show up in the new Spotlight. They are still there but hidden in the folder (Macintosh HD - Users - Apps) but just a warning, they seem to have graphical issues when opened up. So I'm wondering if Apple plans to remove this feature, even though the option is still in Safari, but again if you remove from dock, without Launchpad, they DO NOT appear in the new Spotlight.
 
Please add to working:
  • Affinity Designer 2
  • Affinity Publisher 2

  • Proton Pass
  • Proton VPN
  • CleanMyMac
Edit: thank you kind Internet stranger! Any chance I could get you to add the ones I have in the iOS Wiki post?

I see Parallels Desktop Pro is there. Are there any limitations or issues or does it just straight up work? Does anybody use Acronis True Image for backup and recovery on MacOS? I do, and I’m not super worried because I still use Time Machine which is my primary go to for local backups, but if anybody knows if that app is functional that would be nice to know before I take the plunge. I do like using it to have a backup in the cloud in case the worst happens on-premise here.
 
More to add working:

  • Speedtest.Net App
Sidenote - I miss legacy Launchpad. I like the Spotlight updates but I didn't want Launchpad gone.
