## About

CubbyPad is a full-screen app grid for macOS 26 and later that brings back the familiar Launchpad experience with modern additions. Open it by pinching with three fingers, pressing F4, using a custom keyboard shortcut, or clicking a corner of your screen. The grid shows all your apps across swipeable pages, with folders you can create by dragging one app onto another.

Search does more than find apps: type initials like "gc" to find Google Chrome, enter math like "24*18" to calculate, or search for settings by keyword to jump straight to System Preferences. Recent files from your favourite apps appear in search results. With Apple Intelligence enabled, you can ask the grid to do things in plain language.

Customize the look with preset themes like Classic, iPad or Glass, adjust icon size and spacing, choose your background, and decide whether app names always show or only on hover. Drag icons to rearrange them, use keyboard shortcuts to move and select without a pointer, and undo any change. Solo covers one Mac; Duo covers two. Both include all features and 1.x updates.

CubbyPad restores Launchpad as a full-screen grid with swipeable pages and folders, adding search that finds apps, calculates math, opens settings by keyword and shows recent files. It works with three-finger pinch, F4 key, custom shortcuts or screen corners. Made by one developer, it's a one-time purchase with no subscription or trial.

Problem
macOS removed Launchpad's full-screen app grid in recent versions, leaving users without a familiar visual way to browse and organize all their applications.

Solution
CubbyPad restores the full-screen app grid with swipeable pages, folders, and enhanced search that finds apps by initials, calculates math, opens settings by keyword, and shows recent files.
