App grid
A visual launcher for browsing installed Mac apps without relying only on typed search.
macOS Tahoe Launchpad replacement.
If you are looking for macOS Tahoe Launchpad or macOS 26 Launchpad, Facet brings back a familiar app grid with keyboard search, folders, Launchpad layout import, and paid-once licensing.
What Facet restores.
Folders
Keep apps grouped by workflow, category, or personal habit.
Search
Use keyboard search when you know what you want, then launch quickly.
macOS 26 Launchpad searches mean the same problem.
Searches like “macOS 26 Launchpad,” “Launchpad macOS 26,” and “macOS Tahoe get Launchpad back” usually point to the same intent: users want the familiar visual app grid back. This page is the canonical page for those Tahoe/macOS 26 Launchpad questions so the rest of the site can stay focused on separate topics.
- For the general question “where is Launchpad on Mac,” use the Launchpad location guide.
- For a broader utility search, use the Mac app launcher guide.
- For purchase intent, use the Launchpad replacement page.
Why this page exists.
Many Mac users search for Launchpad when a familiar app-grid workflow changes or disappears. Facet is built for that use case: it does not try to become a command center. It focuses on the simple job of making app launching feel visual, organized, and Mac-native again.
