The new apps.app in macOS 26.0.1 provides access to apps, but if I have to go to my apps folder to find and launch it, it's not much use to me, since I can launch any app from that folder. But when I run it, it doesn' t add an icon to the dock, so I can't right-click it and choose Keep in Dock.
How do I add it to the dock?
Mac mini, macOS 26.0
If you had removed Launchpad from your Dock at some past point prior to upgrading to Tahoe, the Apps app will not appear in the Dock (it would have replaced Launchpad there). To put it on the Dock, open the Applications folder, click on the Apps app and drag it down to the Dock. It will then be accessible from the Dock.

Apps is normally the second from the left, where Launchpad used to be.
¡That's the answer! ¡Thank you!
Sorry. I assumed if you wanted to use Apps you wouldn't have removed Launchpad. Never assume. :)
You're welcome!
