When app launcher proved to be a big hit on iOS, Apple introduced “Launchpad”–the iOS-style app launcher—with OS X Lion. And guess what, most folks (including me) found the new add-on pretty adorable. To make the most of this neat feature, I ensure that Launchpad is added to my Mac Dock.
So, whenever I want to navigate through all the installed apps to spot the unwanted ones or quickly jump onto specific ones, I don’t have to hop around. If you aren’t using Launchpad much or want to include it in the Dock, let me help you get started!

Going forward, whenever you want to navigate through apps or instantly access a specific one, click on the Launchpad icon. Now, you can view all of your apps on the screen.
