AppTela replaces Launchpad with something worth using. Organize apps across Screens, Categories, Groups and Stacks. Stack apps visually with a peel-away expand, or use Launch Stacks to open multiple apps at once. Right-click anything for quick actions.
29 colour themes, 7 animated backgrounds, custom MP4 wallpapers. Glass mode, compact to fullscreen. Shadow Time casts shadows based on time of day.
Live preview preferences. Zero data collection. Native Swift. 10 languages. $4.99 one-time.
I had enough with Launchpad. You can't organize anything properly, you can't resize it, and somehow they made it worse with Tahoe. I looked at everything else out there and nothing really does it properly. Most feel half-finished - another grid of icons with a search bar and not much else.
So I built my own.
AppTela lets you create multiple Screens and switch between them instantly. Organize apps into Categories and Groups, with Groups inside Groups if you want to go deep.
My favourite feature is Stacks. Visually stack apps on top of each other and click to expand. Then there's Launch Stacks - one click opens every app in the stack. I use one every morning to fire up my whole dev setup.
I also got a bit obsessive with the visual side. There's a shadow engine called Shadow Time that casts directional shadows based on the time of day. Glass mode, custom backgrounds, full colour and size control for everything. Honestly you can waste a good hour just tweaking it.
Native SwiftUI. One-time purchase, no subscription.
I have got a few promo codes if anyone wants to try it - just drop a comment.
