LaunchNext follows the same licensing terms.*\n\n### Install with Homebrew 🍺\n\n```bash\nbrew tap RoversX\u002Fhomebrew-tap\nbrew install --cask launchnext\n```\n\nLaunchNext includes its own updater. The Homebrew cask is mainly for installation and manual upgrades.\n\n⚠️ **If macOS blocks the app, run this in Terminal:**\n```bash\nsudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine \u002FApplications\u002FLaunchNext.app\n```\n**Why**: I can't afford Apple's developer certificate ($99\u002Fyear), so macOS blocks unsigned apps. This command removes the quarantine flag to let it run. **Only use this command on apps you trust.**\n\n### What LaunchNext Delivers\n- ✅ **One-click import from old system Launchpad** - directly reads your native Launchpad SQLite database (`\u002Fprivate$(getconf DARWIN_USER_DIR)com.apple.dock.launchpad\u002Fdb\u002Fdb`) to perfectly recreate your existing folders, app positions, and layout\n- ✅ **Classic Launchpad experience** - works exactly like the beloved original interface\n- ✅ **Multi-language support** - full internationalization with English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, French, Spanish, German, Russian, and more\n- ✅ **Hide icon labels** - clean, minimalist view when you don't need app names\n- ✅ **Custom icon sizes** - adjust icon dimensions to fit your preferences\n- ✅ **Smart folder management** - create and organize folders just like before\n- ✅ **Fuzzy search and keyboard navigation** - find apps quickly, even with partial or imperfect input\n- ✅ **CLI \u002F TUI support** - inspect and operate your layout from the terminal\n- ✅ **Hot Corner and native gesture support** - open LaunchNext with corners, trackpad gestures, and 4 \u002F 5 finger options\n- ✅ **Drag apps directly to the Dock** - available in Next Engine + Core Animation\n- ✅ **Core Animation folders** - folder content supports paged and vertical scroll layouts\n- ✅ **Better context menus** - Show in Finder, Copy App Path, Rename Folder, and configured uninstall actions\n- ✅ **Update tab with Markdown release notes** - richer in-app update experience\n- ✅ **Backup, controller, and voice support improvements** - better reliability and accessibility\n\n### What We Lost in macOS Tahoe\n- ❌ No custom app organization\n- ❌ No user-created folders\n- ❌ No drag-and-drop customization\n- ❌ No visual app management\n- ❌ Forced categorical grouping\n\n\n### Data Storage\nApplication data is safely stored in:\n```\n~\u002FLibrary\u002FApplication Support\u002FLaunchNext\u002FData.store\n```\n\n### Native Launchpad Integration\nReads directly from the system Launchpad database:\n```bash\n\u002Fprivate$(getconf DARWIN_USER_DIR)com.apple.dock.launchpad\u002Fdb\u002Fdb\n```\n\n## Installation\n\n### Requirements\n- macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later\n- Apple Silicon or Intel processor\n- Xcode 26 (for building from source)\n\n### Build from Source\n\n1. **Clone the repository**\n   ```bash\n   git clone https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002FRoversX\u002FLaunchNext.git\n   cd LaunchNext\n   ```\n\n2. **Open in Xcode**\n   ```bash\n   open LaunchNext.xcodeproj\n   ```\n\n3. **Build and run**\n   - Select your target device\n   - Press `⌘+R` to build and run\n   - Or `⌘+B` to build only\n\n### Command Line Build\n\n**Regular Build:**\n```bash\nxcodebuild -project LaunchNext.xcodeproj -scheme LaunchNext -configuration Release\n```\n\n**Universal Binary Build (Intel + Apple Silicon):**\n```bash\nxcodebuild -project LaunchNext.xcodeproj -scheme LaunchNext -configuration Release ARCHS=\"arm64 x86_64\" ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=NO clean build\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### Getting Started\n1. **First Launch**: LaunchNext automatically scans all installed applications\n2. **Select**: Click to select apps, double-click to launch\n3. **Search**: Type to instantly filter applications\n4. **Organize**: Drag apps to create folders and custom layouts\n5. **Automate**: Enable CLI in Settings if you want terminal workflows\n\n### Import Your Launchpad\n1. Open Settings (gear icon)\n2. Click **\"Import Launchpad\"**\n3. Your existing layout and folders are automatically imported\n\n\n### Display Modes\n- **Compact**: Floating window with rounded corners\n- **Fullscreen**: Full-screen mode for maximum visibility\n- **Legacy Engine** and **Next Engine + Core Animation** are available in Settings\n- LaunchNext can keep separate settings for fullscreen and compact\n- Optional fullscreen menu bar hiding is available; macOS also hides the Dock when this is enabled\n\n## Advanced Features\n\n### Search and Folder Experience\n- **Fuzzy Search**: Match apps with partial names, abbreviations, and imperfect input\n- **Configurable Search Delay**: Tune search debounce timing in Settings\n- **Folder Layout Modes**: Choose between Launchpad-like paged folders and vertical scrolling folders\n- **Core Animation Folder Rendering**: Smoother folder interaction for larger folders\n\n### Smart Background Interaction\n- Intelligent click detection prevents accidental dismissal\n- Context-aware gesture handling\n- Search field protection\n\n### Performance Optimization\n- **Icon Caching**: Intelligent image caching for smooth scrolling\n- **Lazy Loading**: Efficient memory usage\n- **Background Scanning**: Non-blocking app discovery\n\n### Automation and Activation\n- **CLI \u002F TUI**: Manage LaunchNext from the terminal\n- **Hot Corner**: Open LaunchNext from a configurable screen corner\n- **Experimental native gestures**: 4 \u002F 5 finger pinch and tap actions, including external trackpad device selection\n- **Dock drag**: Drag apps directly into the macOS Dock in Next Engine + Core Animation\n\n### App Management\n- **Context menu actions**: Show apps in Finder, copy app paths, rename folders, and use a configured uninstall tool\n\n### Update and Backup Tools\n- **Update tab**: Check for updates and read Markdown release notes inside Settings\n- **Backup tools**: Create and restore backups more safely\n- **Notification update**: Modern notification API support\n\n### Multi-Display Support\n- Automatic screen detection\n- Per-display positioning\n- Seamless multi-monitor workflows\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n### Common Issues\n\n**Q: App won't start?**\nA: Ensure macOS 26.0+ and check system permissions.\n\n**Q: Which engine should I use?**\nA: `Next Engine + Core Animation` is recommended for the best experience. `Legacy Engine` is still available if you need the older compatibility path.\n\n**Q: Why doesn't the CLI command exist yet?**\nA: Enable the command line interface in Settings first. LaunchNext can install and remove the managed `launchnext` command for you.\n\n## Contributing\n\nWe welcome contributions! Please:\n\n1. Fork the repository\n2.

Open a Pull Request\n\n### Development Guidelines\n- Follow Swift style conventions\n- Add meaningful comments for complex logic\n- Test on multiple macOS versions\n- Maintain backward compatibility\n\n## The Future of App Management\n\nAs Apple moves away from customizable interfaces, LaunchNext represents a push toward user control and personalization. I still hope Apple brings Launchpad back.\n\n**LaunchNext** isn't just a Launchpad replacement—it's a statement that user choice matters.\n\n\n---\n\n**LaunchNext** - Reclaim Your App Launcher 🚀\n\n*Built for macOS users who refuse to compromise on customization.*\n\n## Development Tools\n\n- Claude Code \n- Cursor \n- OpenAI Codex CLI\n- Perplexity\n- Google\n\n\n\n- Experimental gesture support is built on [OpenMultitouchSupport](https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002FKyome22\u002FOpenMultitouchSupport) and the fork by [KrishKrosh](https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002FKrishKrosh\u002FOpenMultitouchSupport).❤️\n\n\n![GitHub downloads](https:\u002F\u002Fimg.shields.io\u002Fgithub\u002Fdownloads\u002FRoversX\u002FLaunchNext\u002Ftotal)\n","LaunchNext 是一个为 MacOS 26+ 版本设计的免费且高度可定制的启动台替代方案。它支持一键导入原生启动台的应用布局，提供经典的启动台体验，并具备多语言界面、隐藏图标标签、自定义图标大小以及智能文件夹管理等功能。此外，LaunchNext 还支持模糊搜索和键盘导航，允许用户通过终端命令行或文本界面操作应用布局，并兼容热角和触控板手势等多种打开方式。该项目适用于那些希望在新版本 MacOS 中恢复并增强原有启动台功能的用户，尤其适合追求个性化设置与高效操作体验的用户群体。",2,"2026-06-11 03:32:06","top_language"]
