Launchpad is not available in macOS 26 Tahoe. Instead, Apple has replaced it with a Spotlight-based application library similar to that on iOS. macOS organizes the apps, you cannot manually sort them.


To have Apple consider your feedback on this issue, submit it here:

Feedback - macOS - Apple


A possible workaround might be a 3rd party app, such as AppGrid Launcher app (Mac App Store link) or https://www.launchie.app/.
