Here’s how to get a little Sequoia in your Tahoe.
Apple last month announced macOS 26 Tahoe, the next major update to the Mac operating system. While it comes with a lot of new features, including the Liquid Glass interface, Live Activities, and a powerful new Spotlight, the update also killed off a feature that has lived on the Mac for over a decade.
With macOS 26, Apple replaced Launchpad with a new app launcher integrated with Spotlight. But if you’re like me and miss Launchpad, there’s a way to bring it back.
For those unfamiliar, Launchpad on the Mac is essentially a “home screen” that shows all the apps you have installed, just like on the iPhone and iPad. It was introduced with OS X Lion in 2010 at a time when Apple wanted to bring more of the iPad experience to the Mac.
While some users never got used to having Launchpad on their Mac, I always liked having a way to organize my apps the way I wanted.
