My first macOS app.
Or: Speedrun a MacOS App in 24 hours with no experience on Swift + Making the landing page and everything.
I rebuilt the "old" launchpad from macos for MacOS Tahoe 26 with some personal touch.
What's working
- CMD + Shift + Space to Open/Close
- Setting custom hotkey
- Esc to Close
- Drag and Drop to reorder apps
- Open Apps
- Folders
- Search
