Thank you! :) I think it's great that different people have different ideas. Questioning is actually a good thing, it helps drive progress in many different areas. I'm truly grateful. I'll keep fixing and updating the software, since I need to use it everyday.

I'm sorry, I thought this would be fun at first, but now it seems not to be, and it does cause confusion. I will rewrite it. My technical skills are not good when it comes to code and technology, far from good. But I will try to make sure all functions are tested and will not cause more problems. I'm still a student, I know I shouldn't use this as an excuse, but my only hope is that many Mac users who can't adapt to the new Launchpad will have more alternatives and more choices.Until Apple bring Launchpad back( if possible)

Thank you for the reply, So in the current version, you can set the number of rows and columns, and you can also hide the software (not displayed in the launcher) and hide the title of the software. I checked the comments section, and it seems there are still quite a few performance issues... I'm not sure if this is an isolated incident or a common occurrence. I'll look into it.

That's not a good frame rate. My computer has this situation:

( ls /Applications/.app 2>/dev/null ls /System/Applications/.app 2>/dev/null ls ~/Applications/*.app 2>/dev/null ) | wc -l 730

For me, it was really slow at the beginning, but it got much better after that. I'm not sure why, but this at least shows that there are still big problems with the current performance...

Yes, I understand how you feels. I did use AI for documentation and the project. I know that's not ideal and probably comes across as low-effort.

But honestly, I was genuinely frustrated with macOS 26's launchpad changes and wanted to build something to fix it. Yeah, the project has the problem but I'm trying to improving it. I just simply want there are more solutions, more alternative there. For the technology side, I am still a student, and my technical skills are not good, far from good. I just want the problem to be fixed, and for us to have better tools.

Do you mean when you first open the software, or when you go to other pages? It does feel sluggish when you first open it. Also the RAM usage is not that good. I hope I can do some optimization on it.

You are absolutely right,(I am not Claude) the bottom part of the readme looks not that good. I will try to rewrite. :)

Since all components are near camera, how is the heat dissipation

Are there any comparisons or thought between the 20b model and the new Qwen‑3 30b model, based on real experience?
