macOS Launchpad

Launchpad is a feature found in Apple's macOS. It is a launcher that displays all applications installed on your Mac. From the Launchpad, users can open applications, reorganize them, view and edit them using Finder, and uninstall any unwanted or unused applications.

To access the Launchpad on your macOS device, click the rocket ship icon found on the dock, or search "Launchpad" in the Spotlight Search bar.

Tip

You can use three fingers to show and hide the Launchpad by enabling the trackpad gesture in the trackpad settings.
