# App Library

A lightweight app launcher for macOS.

![App Library Screenshots](~images/header.jpg)

Launchpad hasn't recieved any significant updates (or love) from Apple since it was released with Mac OS X Lion in 2011.  App Library aims to fix that oversight.

## Features

- [x] Launch apps

- [x] Search installed apps

- [x] Hide and show apps in the library with a (right) click

- [x] Add and remove search scopes to look for installed apps

- [ ] Keyboard navigation

- [ ] Grid view

- [ ] Group by app category

## Installation

App Library requires macOS 13.0 or later.\

Download and unzip the latest `App Library.app.zip` [release](https://github.com/ryanslikesocool/AppLibrary/releases/latest).\

Move the app to your Applications folder (and your dock!)

## Known Issues

- App Library cannot be sandboxed due to the way it uses accessibility features to locate the dock icon.

- App Library currently only works with the dock on the bottom of the screen.
