Switching to Launchie? Import your existing layout from macOS or another launcher, with your folders and app order. Find it in the Getting Started guide or in Settings > Backup. The Getting Started guide is now five short steps: import your layout, pick how Launchie opens and your hotkey, meet Spaces, and a few tips. Switching Spaces with a two-finger swipe or a drag now follows your fingers. The next Space slides in alongside, and letting go early springs back. Apps and folders now shrink and fade as they scroll in and out of view instead of being cut off. Turn it off in Settings > Appearance > Animate Icons at Edges. New Pro option to hide app names for an icons-only grid. Hovering an app still shows its name. Hidden apps can now show up in search, marked with a crossed-out eye. Folders open and close with a quick fade, and closing one returns you to where you had scrolled. After an update, Launchie shows what's new once. Something not working? Settings > Feedback > Export Diagnostics… saves a report and opens an email to us. Nothing is sent until you send it. Fixed Launchie closing along with its Settings window, a new hotkey not working after clearing the old one, Maximized and Fullscreen needing two clicks, the short right-click menu in the List layout, Quick Access reordering itself while you change a setting, and untranslated labels in Quick Access settings.

Smoother scrolling when Launchie fills a large display, such as a 16-inch MacBook Pro or an external monitor. Fixed Pro features switching off when you're signed out of the App Store. A one-time Pro purchase now stays unlocked without signing in again. Launchie no longer asks for a review in a popup while you open apps. The request now sits quietly in Settings, and you can dismiss it for good. This also removes an empty white box that could briefly cover the launcher after starting Launchie. Fixed folders ending in ".app", such as those in ~/Library/Application Scripts, showing up as apps after adding your home folder as a custom directory.

Added Pro background images. Show your desktop wallpaper or a picture of your own behind your apps, blurred like the classic Launchpad. Adjust the blur and dim the picture with Tint Strength in Settings > Appearance. Fixed Pro offers vanishing after a restart. A banner now stays until you dismiss it. The Pro page now lists every Pro feature instead of a handful. Fixed app icons staying dark or light when macOS switches appearance automatically, and updated apps keeping their old icon until Launchie was restarted. Fixed two apps both showing as "Siri" on macOS 27. The new Siri app is now labeled "Siri AI". Improved scrolling and icon rendering, most noticeably on Macs without a Retina display.

Fixed pasting into text fields. Cut, Copy, Paste, Select All, and Undo now work reliably throughout the app.

Folder drops now favor adding the app to the folder, while still allowing precise edge drops for reordering. - Fixed an issue where reordering apps inside a folder while viewing a Space could replace the entire Space with that folder's contents. Folder changes now stay inside the folder, and the Space keeps its original apps and folders. ## 1.4.3 - Optimizations and bug fixes ## 1.4.2 - Added a new `Launch All` action for folders. You can now open every app in a folder at once from the folder header, with a confirmation step for larger launches. - Added a new Spaces placement option. Space chips can now be shown at the top of the header instead of only in the footer. - Fixed an issue where clicking the desktop would not close Launchie, even though clicking another window would. Launchie now dismisses consistently when you click outside the window. - Fixed a Pro authorization issue that could appear after Launchie started while offline or briefly lost Wi-Fi. Launchie now keeps your existing Pro access more reliably and re-checks it automatically once the connection returns. - Added a new Danger Zone reset action in Settings so you can clear all saved Launchie settings, layout data, spaces, hidden apps, custom directories, and folder permissions in one step.

Earlier one-time Pro purchases continue to unlock Launchie Pro permanently. - Added a new Quick Access placement setting. You can now keep Quick Access pinned above the grid or place it inside the main scroll area. - Improved Spaces in light mode. Selected space icons and chip outlines are now easier to distinguish against bright backgrounds. ## 1.3.11 - App installs and removals now show up much faster in Launchie. New and deleted apps are detected almost instantly in most cases, while the regular background refresh remains in place as a lightweight fallback. - Fixed an issue where some iPhone, iPad, and web apps could disappear from Launchie after adding broad custom app directories. ## 1.3.10 - Fixed an issue where non-app files could appear in the "All Apps" view when a custom directory pointed to a broad location. Launchie now validates each discovered .app bundle by checking for a valid Info.plist and filtering out background-only daemons, preventing system internals, framework helpers, and non-macOS files from cluttering the app grid. - Improved horizontal swiping for Spaces and the root view, especially on the trackpad. Space switching now feels more natural and immersive, with better control to prevent accidental jumps across multiple spaces. - Made switching between the root view and Spaces feel faster and more natural by tightening the transition animation and reducing the heavy bounce.
