LaunchOS is a Launchpad replacement rebuilt for macOS 26 and macOS 27. With a small installer, it brings back the classic Launchpad workflow. Its biggest strength is preserving the native Launchpad feel and muscle memory: smooth, familiar, and enhanced with practical improvements on top of the original experience. It is lightweight, restrained, and carefully refined, matching the native Launchpad experience while blending naturally with the new system's Liquid Glass style.
We rebuilt the small details that truly shape daily efficiency, and added several useful improvements Apple never offered, making LaunchOS a more natural, complete, and powerful Launchpad experience on macOS 26 and macOS 27.

What should I do if I haven't received the license email?
After payment, you will receive two emails: a receipt and a license email. The license email may arrive a few minutes later than the receipt. If you only received the receipt, please check your spam folder, as the license email may have been incorrectly marked as spam by your email provider. If you received neither email, it usually means an incorrect email address was entered during checkout, or your email service cannot receive emails normally. No matter the situation, don't worry. Contact us via the email below and we will help resolve it.
What should I do if the app says my license is invalid?
Please ensure you haven't copied any extra characters, such as spaces or line breaks, when copying the license. Try pasting the code into a plain text editor first, then copy it again into the app. If the issue persists, please contact us via the email below.
Do I need to repurchase the license when changing devices?
You do not need to repurchase. If you change your device, simply remove the old device during the activation process. You can also manage your devices in the Settings > About > Device Management interface.
Do I need to repurchase the license when upgrading to a new major version?
No. All purchases include lifetime free upgrades to future major versions.
