Its it possible to customize the new Mac apps menu in OS26?

I used to have my apps organized in folders, grouped by how I used them. For example, I had MS Office applications grouped together.


With Mac OS26, I find it difficult to find the programs I need when I need them. This is, perhaps, the biggest frustration I have with the upgrade, aside from the hotspot popup that never seems to go away, ever, not matter how many times I click off.

macOS organizes the apps, you cannot manually sort them. To have Apple consider your feedback on this issue, submit it here:

Feedback - macOS - Apple

 

A possible workaround might be a 3rd party app, such as AppGridLauncher app (Mac App Store link) or https://www.launchie.app/.
