Launchpad Manager
Launchpad Manager is a macOS utility that helps users organize and manage their Launchpad — the built-in macOS application grid accessed from the Dock. It allows users to reorganize app icons, create folders, hide apps, and customize the layout of their Launchpad without using the default drag-and-drop interface. The app targets power users and Mac administrators who want fine-grained control over their application launcher.

1 suggestionLaunchpad Manager has been discontinued and is no longer maintained by its developer. The app is Intel-only with no native Apple Silicon build, and there are no recent updates. It continues to run under Rosetta 2 today, but Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), at which point this app will stop launching entirely. Since the project is abandoned, there is no path to a native version. Modern alternatives for Launchpad management are limited; most users find that macOS's built-in Launchpad capabilities and Spotlight search have reduced the need for third-party management tools. If you heavily depend on Launchpad organization, consider exploring how Spotlight, Mission Control, and native macOS app folders in the Dock might serve your workflow instead, or plan to migrate to one of the few actively maintained app launchers like Alfred or Raycast, which provide superior search and customization beyond Launchpad's scope.
