## About

Old Launchpad brings a familiar Launchpad-style grid back to the Mac. It scans common macOS application folders and shows installed apps in a searchable layout, so programs can be found and opened without browsing through folders.

Apps can be dragged into custom orders and folders, with multiple pages for larger collections. Old Launchpad also lets users adjust icon size, background, transparency, and grid spacing. It is a native macOS app for macOS 13 or newer, with a 30-day fully featured trial and a one-time license.
