MacBook Launchpad 1.0.3

Smoother everywhere

Animations now run at your display's full refresh rate, up to 120 Hz on ProMotion Macs.

  • Dragging moves only the icon you're holding; the rest of the grid no longer redraws on every mouse movement.
  • Paging slides pre-rendered icons, with shadows drawn once instead of every frame.
  • Folders open and close over a lightweight frosted backdrop, with quicker, tighter timing.

Apple-style jiggle

A gentle tilt and bob on a half-second cycle, with each icon on its own rhythm, like the original Launchpad. Icons settle upright when you're done.

Looks like Launchpad

  • App and folder names use the system font at Launchpad's size and weight, with long names cut off at the end.
  • Compact search field with the prompt centered until you type.
  • Large folder titles.
