Current Functions
Everything in the app today, not a wishlist.
The website now reflects the LaunchNow 1.5.x feature set: profiles, cloud folder sync, automatic update checks, background customization, search controls, app sources, and safer app management.
Personalization
Rename apps, change icons, and shape folders
Use contextual actions to rename apps or folders, change app and folder icons, reset icons, remove items, and open apps in Finder.
Appearance
Themes, backgrounds, opacity, and blur
Choose Glass, Dark, Light, Compact, or Classic Launchpad presets, then refine the background image, opacity, and blur.
Profiles
Save multiple launch setups
Keep Work, Personal, Gaming, or any other layout as profiles you can save, rename, apply, delete, export, and restore.
Cloud
Cloud folder backup for profiles
Point LaunchNow at iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or another synced folder for profile backups.
Updates
Automatic update checks
LaunchNow can check GitHub releases in the background, notify you when a new version is available, and install ZIP updates in-app.
Apps
Add, remove, reset, and auto-organize
Search app lists, add apps from custom sources, remove items safely, or group your current apps into category folders.
Languages
Built for multilingual setups
Switch between English, Thai, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Indonesian, Vietnamese, or system language.
Data Safety
Profiles and cloud folder backup are built into Settings.
Save layouts as profiles, restore them later, and keep a backup in a synced folder. LaunchNow stores profile data separately from your installed apps, so layout experiments stay reversible.
- Save and rename profiles
- Restore from cloud folder
- Export and import data
- Backup Now for synced folders
