LaunchPadX is a lightweight visual app launcher for Mac users who do not want everything to be keyboard-first. Open it from the menu bar, Dock, or an optional trackpad gesture, then browse or search apps in a familiar Launchpad-style interface.
Hi Product Hunt, I built LaunchPadX for Mac users who still like launching apps visually.
Raycast, Alfred, and Spotlight are excellent if you prefer typing. I wanted something closer to the familiar Launchpad grid, but easier to open on demand from the menu bar, Dock, or a trackpad gesture.
LaunchPadX supports fast search, folders, quick launching, and a lightweight native macOS experience.
I would love feedback from Mac users:
- Do you still use visual app launching?
- Is gesture access useful?
- What would make an app like this feel more trustworthy to install?
