Features
Everything you need to feel at home on your Mac.
Pulled from years of polishing the launcher experience. Every detail is configurable, and every default is sensible.
Lightning search
Press a shortcut, type a few letters, hit return. Find any app in milliseconds, with keyboard navigation that feels like part of macOS itself.
Layouts that bend to you
Sidebar categories, multiple grid layouts, inline or popup folders. Switch the whole arrangement on a whim — your launchpad, your rules.
Favorites within reach
A dedicated favorites tab keeps the apps you use every day one keystroke away. Pin, reorder, customize rows and columns.
Hot corners
Send any corner of your screen to your launcher. No keyboard, no menu bar dive — just a flick of the mouse and you're moving.
Make it yours
Light, dark, or follow system. Seven built-in backgrounds or upload your own. Icon sizes, card opacity, pagination position — all yours to tune.
Built for speed
AppKit-powered icon grid. Hundreds of apps render and scroll without a stutter. Available in 10 languages, native from day one.
A closer look
See it in action.
Built around the way you work — from custom layouts to silky performance, every detail bends to your taste.
