Launchpad, exactly as it was.
macOS 26 removed Launchpad. AppPad brings back the original, and adds a clipboard, app shortcuts, workflows and window control.
Four-finger pinch or click to open
Four more tools in the same menu bar icon
Each opens with its own shortcut. ⌘⇧J and ⌘⇧K move between AppPad, Clipboard and Workflows without closing anything.
Clipboard
Every text and image you copy is kept until you delete it, images even after the original file is gone. Keep the ones you reuse in Saved and paste the first ten with ⌘1–⌘0.
- ⌘. Open Clipboard
- ⌥⌘. Saved items only
- ⌘1–⌘0 Paste
- App:: Filter by app
Clipboard
App Shortcuts
Give any app its own global shortcut. Press it to open the app or bring it to the front, press it again to hide it.
App Shortcuts
Workflows
Press ⌘Space and type. Built-in workflows take arguments, so “timer 10” starts a ten-minute timer. Write your own with shell, AppleScript, Shortcuts or HTTP requests; scripts run in a real sandbox with the permissions you approve.
