Full description
KidoX is a macOS app launcher designed for Mac users who miss Launchpad, prefer a visual way to browse their apps, or want a cleaner, faster launch experience than digging through Finder or remembering every app name. It brings back a familiar Launchpad-style app grid for modern macOS, especially macOS Tahoe, while adding more control for everyday Mac workflows. KidoX is built for people who want to open apps quickly, organize their app layout visually, hide clutter, and keep their setup consistent across Macs. With KidoX, you can browse installed apps in a clean grid, search instantly, arrange apps across pages, open the launcher with a keyboard shortcut, hot corner, menu bar icon, or Dock icon, and drag apps directly into the Dock. KidoX also watches your Applications folders for changes, so newly installed apps appear automatically. Your layout, hidden apps, shortcuts, appearance, and preferences stay stored locally on your Mac. KidoX Main Features: - Launchpad-style app grid for browsing installed Mac apps - Fast app search with keyboard support - Custom app pages and icon arrangement - Keyboard shortcuts for opening KidoX quickly - Hot corner support - Menu bar and Dock access - Drag apps from KidoX directly into the Dock - Automatic scanning of Applications folders - Automatic updates when apps are installed or removed - Hide apps from the KidoX grid without uninstalling them - Custom appearance and wallpaper - Local-only layout and preference storage - Backup and restore for moving your setup to another Mac - Native macOS support for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs
