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.

  • ⌘Space Open the Workflow panel
  • timer 10 Set Timer
  • vol 30 Set Volume
  • trash Empty Trash

Workflows

Window control

Snap the focused window from the keyboard. Each press cycles through ½, ⅓ and ⅔, and moving to another display keeps the layout.

  • ⌃⌥←Snap Left
  • ⌃⌥→Snap Right
  • ⌃⌥↑Snap Top
  • ⌃⌥↓Snap Bottom
  • ⌃⌥↩Maximize
  • ⌃⌥⌫Restore
  • ⌃⌥⌘↑Move to Previous Display
