Open, arrange, remember

RetroLaunchpad is a native full-screen launcher for macOS 26. It needs no account and sends no layout to the cloud: press the shortcut, find an app, and let go.

  • Opens with the global ⌥ Space shortcut on the display under the pointer.
  • Supports drag reordering, edge-triggered page changes, and folder creation by overlap.
  • Folders can be renamed, reordered internally, and dissolved by dragging apps out.
  • App order, folders, and the hidden-app list stay in local Application Support.
