The sheet holds sixfive layouts, search, Control Centre and Hyper Widgets.
Dashboard Half · from the top
Today as a smart stack: the weather, what’s next and your batteries take turns, with widgets beside it.
Hyper Widgets, at their own size
115 come with Hyperlaunch, each at its exact design size on the one grid, never stretched.
The search runs here when JavaScript is on.
Search as you type
Apps first, by how often you open them, then sums, units, settings panes, commands, the clipboard and files.
Control Centre, in colour
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and AirDrop, tall sliders, Now Playing from any app, and one-tap controls that light up.
Every day: your apps, your day and every way in.
Your apps, as Launchpad had them
Every app on your Mac, in Launchpad’s grid of big icons. Type, and the ones you open most come first.
Press it again for apps only
⌃⌥⌘↓ brings the sheet down. Press it again for your apps alone, edge to edge; a third time closes it.
Up from the bottom
⌃⌥⌘↑ raises the same sheet from the bottom of the screen, over the Dock.
Your day on one sheet
The weather, your next meeting, what’s playing, today’s tasks and everything you copied, as Command centre lays them out.
Or open it from the Dock, the menu bar, a key or a link
-
Its Dock icon
Opens your default size and edge, as Launchpad’s did; right-click it for a layout.
-
Its menu-bar icon
A click opens or closes it; right-click for a layout, Settings and Quit.
-
Launchpad’s key
F4 with Launchpad’s glyph, once you turn it on in Settings › General. It asks for Accessibility then.
-
A link
For hot corners, Shortcuts and scripts: any size, edge and layout.
Make it yours. Move, size and restyle every card, down to the icons.
Drag a card anywhere
Drop it anywhere and it stays. The cards it lands on move to where it was; nothing else moves.
Edit mode runs here when JavaScript is on.
Every card, its own settings
Double-click a card, or right-click a widget: its size, its look, and options such as °C or °F.
Add from the gallery
Hyperlaunch’s own pieces and the library’s widgets, each previewed at its true size. Drag one onto the sheet.
Three surfaces
The same sheet in each: Liquid Glass on macOS 26, Frosted Glass, or Dark & Sleek’s pure black.
Liquid Glass Clear glass, with a lens along its free edge. On macOS 26.
Frosted Glass Milky glass: what’s behind it blurs away.
Dark & Sleek Pure black, like the notch.
A look for every card, and stacks
Dark, Light, Frosted, Liquid, Paper or Ink, per card. Widgets of a size stack when you hold one over another.
macOS 26’s icon styles
Default or Dark, or Clear and Tinted in a light or dark shade, per card, as the Dock draws them.
- Default
- Clear, light
- Tinted, light
- Dark
- Clear, dark
- Tinted, dark
For developers: Workbench, Ask and your assistant’s widgets.
Every layout opens from a link too, for Shortcuts, scripts and hot corners: hyperlaunch://open?layout=work&size=full
Workbench Full
Your coding agents’ limits, usage and alerts, read from HyperTrail, beside the developer apps you use.
Terminal, servers, Git and containers
Commands of 10 s or more, the ports you listen on, your branch and containers, live while it’s open.
Widgets your coding assistant makes
Ask Claude Code, Cursor or Codex for one. With Hyper Island, once you allow it, Add widget lists it.
Only what you switch on goes with it
Every answer says what was sent
Press Tab to ask
Tab turns what you typed into a question for Claude, on your own Anthropic key, kept in your Keychain.
Everything in Hyperlaunch. Every key, layout, card and setting.
What’s off until you turn it on, or needs another app, says so beside it.
It matches the way Hyperlaunch’s own search does: a word’s start, or its initials.

As the app answers it as you type. Return copies it.

How it runs. What it does on your Mac, and what leaves it.
On your Mac
- Ready before you press.
- The sheet and its views are made at launch and kept hidden, so opening moves what’s already there.
- One clock, only while it’s open.
- One clock drives every live piece, once a second, and stops when the sheet closes. Closed, only the clipboard check runs: one number, read twice a second.
- Blurred once, as Launchpad did.
- Full blurs your wallpaper once each time it opens; Half and ¾ use the system’s own blur.
- Over everything, then out of the way.
- It opens over full-screen apps and stays put while Spaces slide; the app you were in gets the keyboard back.
- Asks on a button, never on open.
- ⌃⌥⌘↓ and ⌃⌥⌘↑ need no permission. A piece asks for what it needs when you press its button.
- Nothing changed system-wide.
- The Launchpad key is taken only while Hyperlaunch runs. Quit it, and the key opens Apps again.
- Your clipboard stays here.
- Up to 200 copies and your pins, in a file only your account can read. Password managers’ copies are skipped.
What leaves it
- The weather.
- The place you set, to Open-Meteo, at most every 15 minutes while a weather piece is open. No account, and not your location.
- Ask, when you ask.
- Your question and what you switched on, to Anthropic, on your own key. The answer says what went.
- Once it’s on sale.
- A weekly licence check, and an update check you can switch off.
- Nothing else.
- No analytics, telemetry or tracking. The privacy policy lists every request.

Questions, answered.
Anything else? Email us and a person will reply.
Which Macs does it run on?
macOS 14 Sonoma or later. It was made for macOS 26, where Launchpad is gone: Liquid Glass and the icon styles need macOS 26, and Translate needs macOS 15. The rest works the same on every version.
Does it use the Launchpad key?
There’s a setting for it: Open with the Launchpad key, in Settings › General. It’s off until you turn it on, and macOS asks you to allow Accessibility when you do. Then F4’s Launchpad key, or the Touch Bar’s Launchpad button, opens your default size and edge, and pressing it again closes the sheet. Nothing system-wide changes: quit Hyperlaunch and the key opens Apps again.
Without it, Hyperlaunch opens on ⌃⌥⌘↓ from the top and ⌃⌥⌘↑ from the bottom, from its Dock and menu-bar icons, and from hot corners, Shortcuts and scripts through hyperlaunch://open.
What does it ask permission for, and when?
Only what a piece needs, and only when you press that piece’s button: your calendars when you allow the calendar piece, for example. Nothing is asked when the sheet opens. The one setting that asks is Open with the Launchpad key, for Accessibility; a trackpad pinch on the sheet uses Accessibility only if you’ve already allowed it.
Can it show my Mac’s widgets and notifications?
Not the ones other apps make: macOS lets no app host other apps’ widgets or read their notifications. Hyperlaunch draws its own Reminders, Calendar, World Clock, Photos and Contacts, puts Hyper Widgets’ library on the sheet, and keeps a Notification Centre of its own for what it sees: an event in ten minutes, a terminal job done, the timer, a download, and your coding agents through HyperTrail.
What does SAMPLE mean on a piece?
The piece’s source isn’t connected, so it shows made-up data to show you its design. Samples are off until you turn them on in Settings, and a sample is always labelled. With them off, a piece says what’s missing and offers the one button that fixes it.
Does it work with Hyper Island, Hyper Widgets and HyperTrail?
Yes. Hyperlaunch draws Hyper Widgets’ library on its sheet at each widget’s own size, and what you unlock in one Hyper app works in all of them. Coming from the top, the sheet leaves the notch and the menu bar clear, so Hyper Island stays where it is. With HyperTrail, your coding agents’ sessions and plan limits show on the sheet.
What does Ask send, and to whom?
Nothing until you ask. Then your question, and anything you switch on to go with it, goes to Anthropic’s API on your own key, which stays in your Mac’s Keychain, and the answer ends with a line that says exactly what was sent.
Does it need the internet?
For the weather, from Open-Meteo for the place you set, for Ask when you use it, and once it’s on sale for the weekly licence check and the update check. Everything else is read on your Mac. The privacy policy lists every request.
Will it slow my Mac down?
Closed, only the clipboard check runs: one number, read twice a second. Open, one clock drives every live piece once a second, and a piece reads its source only while it’s on the sheet. Its views are made when it starts, so opening moves what’s already there instead of building it.
Is there a free trial?
No. You pay first, and if it isn’t for you, you get a full refund within 14 days, no questions. See the refund policy.
What’s the difference between Lifetime and Yearly?
Only how you pay. Both are the whole app. Lifetime is $29 once, with every update. Yearly is $12 a year and works while it’s paid, plus a week’s grace.
When can I buy it?
February 2027. Leave your email and we’ll write once, when it’s out. Checkout will be through Paddle, our reseller, which adds any sales tax or VAT before you pay.
Hyperlaunch. Coming February 2027.
