The Mac app
A short look at what you can make your own.
On a computer? Open this page to try SpotLaunch yourself.
At home on your Mac
Give your launcher the look you love. Enjoy Liquid Glass on macOS 26 or later, or choose a softer look. Native Mac materials and smooth transitions make it feel familiar from the start.
Pages, sections & folders
You know where your tools belong. Keep your creative apps together, your work tools close, and your everyday favorites right where you want them.
Mix apps and folders in each section. Add more sections and pages when you need them. Drag icons into place, change the order of your sections, or move a whole section to another page in one go.
A little room. Or a little more.
Keep a small folder for a few apps, and give bigger collections more room. Each folder remembers the size you choose.
Move apps into and out of folders. Hide an app — or a whole folder — when you don’t need it, and bring it back whenever you want.
Ungroup a folder and its apps return to the launcher. Remove a section and its icons stay.
The finishing touches
Choose the icon size and the space between icons. Adjust the labels, or hide them altogether. Make the background lighter or darker, set its transparency, and choose whether to show a window shadow.
Make the launcher compact or give it more room. Put it where it suits you. The icons adapt, and SpotLaunch remembers your window size and position for next time.
Search apps and files
Type an app’s name and open it straight from the results. Want your files here too? Turn on Spotlight search and choose which folders to include.
Find a file by name or search indexed text inside a document. Open what you find right from SpotLaunch.
File search uses the Spotlight index and access to the folders you choose.
Ready when you are
Show your recently opened apps at the top, ready for next time. Keep the row when it’s useful, and hide it whenever you prefer.
Add shortcuts to applications that aren’t in the main list. Keep them alongside the rest of your tools.
Keep SpotLaunch in your Dock, open it from the menu bar, or set a keyboard shortcut that feels right for you.
Thoughtfully made. Freely yours.
SpotLaunch started with a simple wish: apps arranged our way, with a look we love. We’ve put care into the little details, from familiar gestures to smooth transitions.
