Since macos Tahoe the launchpad is gone which makes OS very unpleasant and unproductive!
Is there a way to go back to macos Sequoia or do I need to find a substitute for my macbook since this makes laptop as good as useless.

Original Title: Launchpad gone
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 26.0
AppGrid Launcher is the replacement I've found. The issue I still have is that it requires using the keyboard or extra "mouse" gestures to access it.
For me, the whole point of LaunchPad - and the best part of the OS - is quickly swiping my finger to the bottom left corner to see a curated dashboard of my software. It's the use of a single finger to access everything - without needing to touch my keyboard - that's the power-user feature I'm missing.
So, with MacOS's inability to map other functions to a hot corner, this replacement app is only half way there.
Yep. Workarounds and third-party apps are not the same. Seeing "Adobe Distiller" at the top after my "seven frequently used apps" whenever I accidentally trigger Spotlight does me zero good, because I never use Adobe Distiller. Oh look, there's two copies of "Adobe After Effects" for some reason. So many Adobes right there that I don't use. Feelin' Really Productive!
