Launchpad

If there’s isn’t a way to work constantly in launchpad What is the use of launchpad then? Just for starting it up and looking good? A useless program we call that. If you can’t even work in it like in the finder. “Great I work in launchpad” “let’s start safari” “ we exit safari” guess what? We’re back in the finder. Starting launchpad again to work init.

Great 🤦🏻‍♂️


A totally useless app created by someone who’s working at Apple.

Hi. No I don’t want launchpad to replace the desktop.
I want that it runs in the background so that if I exit a program that I return to launchpad.


Unfortunately, that can't be done.

Hi there. I know how launchpad works and it is great.

but the problem is after I started a app and later exit the app I’m back in the finder not in launchpad.

why isn’t there any option to select so when I exit an app that I’ll return directly to launchpad?

I can remember with the classic iMac back in 1998 that there was an option for kids that the desktop looks like TILES and worked like the iPad today

why can’t I use launchpad like a shell?
