How do I reinstall the Launchpad app on my Mac?
I must have deleted my launchpad app somehow. It is not in my list of apps. Is there a way to reinstall it?

What macOS version are you running on your Mac?
If you recently upgraded to macOS 26 Tahoe, the Launchpad App was removed and cannot be reinstalled. It was replaced by the Apps.app on the dock and in the Applications Folder on Finder.
There are 3rd party alternatives such as App Grid Launcher in the App Store that have been recommended as replacements for Launchpad.
