KidoX is a macOS utility that restores the Launchpad app launcher removed in macOS Tahoe, providing a grid-based interface with search, keyboard navigation, and drag-and-drop organization. It targets individual Mac users and small teams who miss the native Launchpad experience, offering a one-time purchase with lifetime updates. Unlike the original, it adds sorting, hiding, backup, and sync features, and is delivered as a native macOS app.
