Undo, for every move
⌘Z takes back the last change to the grid, from one dragged icon to a whole Organize. ⇧⌘Z puts it back.
Every app, one pinch away.
The app grid you missed, back on your Mac. Folders, swipeable pages and search that does more. Made for macOS 26.
- One-time purchase
- 14-day money-back
- macOS 26 or later
A familiar place for every app.
Pages you swipe. Folders right where you left them.
Every app, on pages you swipe.
Open it the way your hands already know.
-
Press the Launchpad key
F4, where Launchpad used to be, opens CubbyPad again. So does the Spotlight key on newer keyboards.
-
Or a shortcut, from any app
⇧⌘Space opens and closes it. Turn off Spotlight’s shortcut and CubbyPad takes ⌘Space, or record your own.
-
Pinch, like you used to
Three fingers draw together to open it and spread to close, and the grid follows them as they move.
-
Push into a corner
Pick a corner of any display. It opens once per visit, so a pointer resting there won’t keep flicking it.
-
Or click it in the Dock
Keep CubbyPad in the Dock where Launchpad was, or in the menu bar, or neither.
Make it yours.
These are CubbyPad’s own settings. Change anything in the window and the display shows it, the way it will look on your Mac.
Go on, move things.
Hold an icon until the grid wobbles, then drag. Drop one app on another and they become a folder, named after what's inside. This one is real: try it.
No pointer needed in the app: ⌥ and an arrow moves an icon, space selects it, ⌃⌘N makes a folder of what's selected. VoiceOver announces each move.
Hold any icon

Search that does things.
Initials are enough
gc finds Google Chrome. Arrow keys pick a result and Return opens it.
It does the sum
Type 24*18, 200*15% or √16 and the answer is the top hit. Return copies it.
Settings, by what is on them
“dark mode” opens Appearance, “wifi” opens Wi-Fi, “open anyway” opens Privacy & Security.
Your recent files come with it
Name an app and the files you last opened in it show up underneath, ready to open.
Or say what you want to do
With Apple Intelligence on, CubbyPad asks the on-device model which of your apps fit. Nothing leaves your Mac.
Or just say it
Click the mic or press ⌘D. Say “Open Safari” and Safari opens. A pause ends listening.
Fifty apps, sorted before your coffee cools.
Settings › Layout › Organize puts every app in a folder by what it's for, using Apple Intelligence on your Mac. You see the folders before anything moves, and Undo puts it all back.

The apps you want at this hour, already there.
The strip above the grid shows what you tend to open at this time of day, on this kind of day, with recent weeks counting more. The history stays on your Mac.

And the things Launchpad never did.
Folders that fill themselves
Smart folders keep up as you install, use and forget apps. Your other folders stay exactly as you made them.
Sort it in one go
Right-click empty space to sort the whole grid by name, date, use, or the color of each icon.
Open a whole folder
Open All starts everything in a folder at once. Call one “Start work” and say it to Siri.
Layouts that switch themselves
A work layout while your monitor is plugged in or during work hours, and one for every Focus.
Apps on other drives
Apps on an external drive keep their place, dimmed, while it’s unplugged, and wake up when it’s back.
The same grid on every Mac
Layouts, folders and the names you give apps follow you to your other Macs through iCloud Drive.
Cleanup and memory
See which apps use your memory, find the ones you never open, and clear out what deleted apps left behind.

Questions, before you buy.
Is it the same as Launchpad?
It works the way Launchpad did: a full-screen grid of every app, pages you swipe, folders, the F4 key, a hot corner and the pinch. Then it goes further, with search that does things, smart folders, undo and its own look.
Which Macs does it run on?
Any Mac running macOS 26 Tahoe or later. Apple Intelligence features need a Mac that supports them; everything else works without them.
Will it bring back my old Launchpad layout?
On the first run, CubbyPad offers to bring over the pages and folders Launchpad left behind on your Mac. It can also import a layout from LaunchNext.
Is it a subscription?
No. You pay once, for one Mac (Solo) or two (Duo), and every 1.x update is included.
What does CubbyPad know about me?
Which apps you open, and when, stays on your Mac, where it’s used to suggest apps at the right time. There are no analytics. CubbyPad goes online only to check your license and look for updates, and syncs through your own iCloud Drive if you turn sync on.
Why does macOS ask before opening it the first time?
CubbyPad is an independent app, not sold through the App Store, so macOS asks you to confirm it once. Open it, click Done, then choose Open Anyway in System Settings › Privacy & Security.
What if it isn’t for me?
Write to us within 14 days of buying and you get your money back.
Put your apps back where they belong.
Opening it the first time
CubbyPad isn’t sold through the App Store, so macOS asks once before it opens.
- Open the DMG, drag CubbyPad to Applications and open it. Click Done on the message.
- In System Settings › Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway next to CubbyPad.
- Confirm with Open Anyway, then paste your license key in Settings › License.
