A minimal tool for tidying the macOS Launchpad, built with SwiftUI. It puts the usual organizing tasks into one small window.
The core flow is simple: AI Tidy → Review Results → Apply. You can also create folders by hand, move apps in bulk, or change their order. It backs up automatically before every apply, and the preview supports undo and picks up where you left off when you reopen it.
AI tidying works with any compatible API you configure, including DeepSeek and a local Ollama. Basic tidying works offline, and your API key is stored in the macOS Keychain.
It works with the classic Launchpad on macOS 14 and 15. macOS 15 hasn't been tested on real hardware yet, and macOS 26 and later aren't supported for now. For now it's available as source code that you build on your own Mac. There's no Apple-notarized installer yet.
The project is open source under the MIT license: see the source code and build instructions on GitHub.
