MacBook Launchpad 1.0.2: arrange like the original, folder animation

MacBook Launchpad 1.0.2

Arrange apps like the original Launchpad

• Drag to rearrange. The icon lifts and follows your pointer, and the other icons slide aside to make room. Let go and it glides into place.
• Make folders by dragging. Rest an app on the middle of another app or folder.
• Drag apps out of folders. Pull an app outside an open folder: the folder closes and you drop the app exactly where you want it. Apps inside a folder rearrange the same way.
• Move between pages by resting an icon at the left or right edge of the screen.
• Jiggle mode. Long-press an icon or hold Option. Press Esc or click empty space to finish.

New folder animation

Folders now open by growing out of their icon: the glass expands into the panel and the apps fly out to their places. Closing reverses it.

Design

• Modern app icon in the macOS 26 Liquid Glass style.
• Concentric folder icons: the tiles' corners follow the folder's curve, and apps fill from the top-left.
• Balanced folder layout: apps arrange in even rows (7 apps → 3 + 3 + 1, 16 → 4 × 4).
• New Folder, Organize Apps and Settings buttons moved to the top right.
