"In 2011, Apple introduced Launchpad to MacOS. It's an almost pixel-for-pixel clone of the iPhone Home screen, but bigger. When it was introduced, die-hard Mac users almost universally gave it a "meh" because there were other well-traveled ways to launch apps on the Mac. But over the years, some of us grew to rely on Launchpad for its simplicity and clarity of presentation."
"In place of Launchpad is a horrid little grid of apps that drops down under the Spotlight bar. You can't rearrange the apps. You can't choose which apps go in which category. You can't even assign your own categories or pick which apps go into them. For that matter, you can't actually scroll the list of categories if you only have a mouse. That horizontal scrolling action is limited to Mac users with trackpads using the two-finger horizontal scroll."
Apple introduced Launchpad to macOS in 2011 as a larger, iPhone-style app grid that many users adopted for its simplicity and organized presentation. macOS Tahoe 26 removes Launchpad and replaces it with a compact app grid under the Spotlight bar that cannot be rearranged, categorized, or manually organized. The new grid restricts scrolling to trackpads, lacks user-assigned categories, and exhibits bugs that display unrelated UI elements after scrolling. A free workaround combining Launchie and Hot Corners can approximate the old Launchpad experience.
