Hi Product Hunt 👋 I make small Mac apps at tealmac. When macOS 26 Tahoe replaced Launchpad with an Apps view that sorts everything for you, a lot of people lost the grid they'd arranged for years. keytide brings it back, and then goes further. Here is everything in 1.0: 🗂 The grid • Full screen or a compact window; choose rows, columns and icon size; drag icons anywhere, swipe between pages, move many at once, or sort A–Z, by category or by use • Folders: drop one app on another, rename, add a colour or emoji, as many as you like • Search that forgives typos ("brwsr" finds Browser), initials too, and the keyboard does everything • Letter hints: press a key, every icon gets a letter, two keystrokes to any app • Import your old Launchpad layout (or another launcher's) on day one ⌨️ Ways to open it • ⌥Space or any shortcut, the F4 / Launchpad key, a hot corner per display, a four-finger pinch, the Dock, the menu bar mini launcher, or a Shortcut 🚀 Workspaces • One keystroke opens a task: apps, files, folders and web links, each window where it belongs (halves, thirds, main + helpers, on the display you choose) • Snapshot what's open into a workspace, run it as a timed focus session, close it to put everything back • Start one on a schedule, when a Focus turns on, or when you plug in a display; Shortcuts actions and keytide:// links ✨ Smart, all on-device • Ask keytide: type "?" and say "set me up for a client call"; it picks apps, links and a layout • Auto-workspaces: it notices apps you always open together and offers to save them • Desk time machine: scrub back through your day and restore the same apps and windows • Focus filters, Siri and Spotlight for workspaces and folders, shake-to-open and hold-to-talk voice 🧹 Tidy • Auto folders by category, a smart folder for apps unused in 90 days • Layout history: slide back to last Tuesday's grid • Uninstall an app with its Library leftovers, to the Bin with Put Back • Right-click for recent documents, Show in Finder, Copy Path, Quit; drop a file on an icon to open it 🔐 Privacy • No telemetry, no account. Online only for your licence and updates $5.99 once until 4 Nov, then $13.99. 1 Mac, macOS 26+. Which apps would go in your first workspace?
