TagLauncher App Grid with colorful tag groups

App Grid Colorful tags and a scrollable icon grid for many apps

App name and purpose note bubble on hover

Per-app notes you can search

Hover to see purpose notes, or edit them. Quick Search matches apps, tags, and notes—something Launchpad does not offer.

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

Highlights

App Grid Global hotkey overlay; works across displays and fullscreen Spaces.
