Taglauncher: A Tag-Based macOS App Launcher to Replace Launchpad
English summary
A developer announced Taglauncher on the Appinn forum, a new macOS app launcher designed to replace Launchpad, which is reportedly being removed in macOS 26. Taglauncher uses a tag-based system instead of folders, allowing each app to be assigned multiple tags like 'Design' or 'Writing' for flexible access. The interface was redesigned from the ground up, not copying Launchpad's interaction model. The tool aims to solve the limitation of filing an app into only one folder.
