For the avid app collector there are a few tools available to help catalog and curate the assortment of programs that accumulate over time. You can use Apple's built in system report to get comprehensive information but it's rather dense and not illustrated. You can use an app like Apparency, but then you are limited to a single app at the time. MyApplications, available in the app store for 99 cents, serves as both a database and a launcher for your computer.The MyApplications general interface includes a count of the number of apps you have installed, 414 in my case. It breaks the apps down into publishers, for example I have 92 apps from Apple itself and six from the wonderful developer Sindre Sorhus. Apparently, many apps don't provide publisher information because I have a lot that are not listed. It also breaks the apps into categories such as utilities, productivity, developer tools, graphics and design etc. The categories, while helpful, are a little too broad for my taste, for example I have 124 labeled as utilities and it seems that could have been further narrowed into categories like disk utilities, archive utilities, etc.The app interface lets you choose sorting by name or last launched. It tells you how many apps you currently have running and how may you have launched in the past day. If you click on individual apps, you have the option to launch them or to get more information regarding size on disk, location, language localizations, download date and date of last update. A complete permissions report is included. The package contents are listed as is a complete description, apparently from the App store or developer's web site if provided. There are even screen shots provided.

Launchpad allowed for creating custom folders to help organize huge app collections. With the release of macOS 26 Tahoe, traditional Launchpad has been removed! My Applications is even better than Launchpad and could just be the replacement you need in Tahoe. The only reason I didn’t rate it 5 stars is the inability to customize categories—even just to change which categories an app appears in which is the major shortcoming of Apple’s new Apps replacement for Launchpad. The ability to add tags and customize existing categories would be awesome. For example, I don’t need games to be split into so many subcategories. This and an option to switch between icon and list views would make My Applications even more compelling.UPDATE: Now I’m also wishing for the ability to add notes to apps. Notes and custom tags would make My Applications possibly the greatest app catalog of them all and not just another launcher. Sadly, My Applications hasn’t been updated in a couple of years and appears to be abandonware.

This is a great idea, Sergii. The original Mac OS Launchpad isn't neaarly as good as what you've created. However, as a graphic designer, I see that there is at least one major thing missing: subcategories.Every designer in the world will have types of apps. Some will deal with vectors, some with raster images. Some will be for photo editing and some for creating new images. Some will be for creating or organizing typefaces, and these days some might be AI tools for creation or clean-up.Putting all apps of one category into one place isn't good. In my Graphics & Design category there are 30 apps but Photoshop isn't there. It's in "Unknown" which is odd, given that it's been known for about 30 years.So please consider how to allow us to re-categorize apps via drag-and-drop as well as how to create our own categories and subcategories.Thank you for ehlping to improve the lives of eveyone who relies on Launchpad!

Great app, Only problem No config feature. Catagories is nice How ever the devloper can be hidden.
