Launchpad had been part of the Mac operating system from OS X Lion, which was launched in 2011. After 14 years, LaunchPad is now retired, replaced by applications in Tahoe.
Apps works a lot as the pitcher as a way to essentially access its application folder, but it has a new appearance and does not allow any customization. You can see your applications by category or name, and then show applications such as icons or a list. That’s all. A list of suggestions at the top is based on its recent activity.


Launchpad was one of Apple’s first attempts to unify user interface elements between Mac and iPhone operating systems. Launchpad basically brought the iPhone’s beginning screen to the MAC, they worked in the same way. With LaunchPad, you can customize different pages full of applications, such as a page dedicated to video editing tools or games. You can also create application folders shown on a launchpad page. You can’t do any of that in Tahoe applications.
When Tahoe lashes, you will find the icon of the applications at the dock where the launch platform used to be. However, due to the way applications show their applications, it is possible that it is more difficult to reach the application you want. You may have to make a displacement to reach the appropriate category, and you may have to click Show more If your application does not appear. It is better to write the application name in the search bar at the top of the application window.
Of course, you can still open the application folder in the search engine in Tahoe. When you are in the search engine, you can navigate to the applications folder or press Shift+Command+A, or start applications through Spotlight.
Launchpad still exists in the Tahoe pre -launch betaBut only in spirit. If you perform a search (command+F; it will not work with Spotlight/Command+Space Bar) in “Launchpad”, an launchpad icon appears as a result. You can click to open it, but the applications start in place. You can control+click and select Show in the attached folder, And it will appear attenuated in the application folder: if you open the application folder in any other instance, you will not see it. This Phantom Launchpad can be an alias to maintain the integrity of scripts and other elements that refer to launchpad.
In Tahoe’s official launch, there are no PAD launch signs, at least at the user level. The Phantom Launchpad that was in the beta version can no longer be found. He is gone, friends. With Tahoe’s beta, you could play with the terminal commands to bring LaunchPad back, but this terminal trick no longer works at the official Tahoe launch. In fact, if you try the terminal trick, it ends up disabled the center of attention and the applications completely. Fortunately, you can restore them. Here is how.
