Launchpad-Control – Update #1

Allgemein | 28. Juli 2011

Already upgraded to Mac OS X Lion? Yes? Well then you certainly know Launchpad, the “home for your apps” like Apple says.

A huge disadvantage of the Launchpad is that every app that is located in your /Applications folder is shown. That means you will see little helper programs like uninstallers or updaters. These apps can’t be hidden easily from Launchpad because there are no such preferences.

Therefore I developed:

Launchpad-Control

Launchpad-Control is a small tool which allows you to easily hide/unhide apps (and groups) from launchpad in Mac OS X Lion.

Update #1: This tool is now a system preference pane! No need to have an additional app on your mac. Once you open the file it “installs” itself into the system preferences where it can be found under “Launchpad”. Isn’t that great?

This app is my first Cocoa project. Great thing that developing native apps for iOS really teach you how to develop for Mac OS X, too.

Please feel free to distribute and talk about this app on blogs, twitter or websites. I would really appreciate that.
