Why not just Launchpad?
| Launchpad | TagLauncher | |
|---|---|---|
| Browse | Paged screens—you hunt for the right page | Scrollable app grid |
| Organize | Folders; one app, one folder | Tags; same app in Design and Work |
| Notes | No per-app purpose notes | Searchable app notes |
| Backup | Hard to export or restore layout | Export / import JSON in Settings |
