Use Launchpad to delete an app

Launchpad offers a convenient way to delete apps that were downloaded from the App Store.

Please read “Signing Your Apps for Gatekeeper”, “Create, export, and delete signing certificates”, and “Distribute outside the Mac App Store (macOS)”. Because I regularly develop, sign, notarize, and distribute macOS apps outside the App Store, I have certificates with the following types of names in my Mac’s Keychain, shown below. Includes premium Office apps, up to 6TB of cloud storage – 1 TB per person – and advanced security for all your devices. With Microsoft 365 Family you and the people you share with can:. Access smart assistance features, plus hundreds of premium templates, photos, icons, and fonts in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

To open Launchpad, click it in the Dock or open it from your Applications folder. You can also pinch closed with your thumb and three fingers on your trackpad.
If you don't see the app in Launchpad, type its name in the search field at the top of the screen. Or swipe right or left with two fingers on your trackpad to show the next or previous page.
Press and hold the Option (⌥) key, or click and hold any app until the apps jiggle.
Click next to the app that you want to delete, then click Delete to confirm. The app is deleted immediately. Apps that don't show either didn't come from the App Store or are required by your Mac. To delete an app that didn't come from the App Store, use the Finder instead.

Deleting an app doesn't cancel any subscription you may have purchased with that app. Learn how to cancel subscriptions for apps that were downloaded from the App Store.

Use the Finder to delete an app

Locate the app in the Finder. Most apps are in your Applications folder, which you can open by clicking Applications in the sidebar of any Finder window. Or use Spotlight to find the app, then press and hold the Command (⌘) key while double-clicking the app in Spotlight.
Drag the app to the Trash, or select the app and choose File > Move to Trash.
If you're asked for a user name and password, enter the name and password of an administrator account on your Mac. This is probably the name and password you use to log in to your Mac.
To delete the app, choose Finder > Empty Trash.

To use an app again after deleting it, either reinstall it or restore it from a backup.

Switch Everything

The built-in macOS app switcher is great if all you use are one-window applications. But you probably have many windows open in many apps, possibly with many tabs, and navigating them all is a pain. Enter Witch, with which you can switch everything…

Multiple Switchers

Can't decide whether you'd like to switch apps, windows, or tabs? With Witch, you don't have to decide; you can have as many switchers as you like.

Every switcher's actions—including sort order, orientation, and tab handling—can be customized to suit your needs.

Flexible Switchers

Unlike the built-in macOS app switcher, Witch isn't locked to one layout. As demonstrated in the splash movie, it can be set up horizontally, to mimic the built-in app switcher. Or it can also be used vertically, as seen in the above screenshots. But Witch has one more layout option: Menu bar mode.

Any Witch switcher can also (or only) be shown in your menu bar by checking the 'Show in menu bar' box on any defined Witch action.

Seek and Ye Shall Find

In addition to traditional 'see target, select target, activate target' switching, Witch supports search-based switching. Activate the search field and start typing—Witch will thin the list of matching targets in real time, making it simple to select just the app or window or tab that you want to activate.

More Nice Things

Spring-load lets Witch do the work for you. Once enabled on the Advanced tab, Witch will automatically drill down and show the selected app's windows and/or tabs after the specified delay period.

Switch to accessory apps when they have standard windows open, e.g. our own Moom's preferences window when it's run in menu bar mode. These are typically invisible to the built-in application switcher.

Control Witch's powers by disabling its hot keys in certain apps, by excluding apps from its switcher, and by hiding unwanted windows—your graphic app's tools palette, for instance—from the switcher.

Plus much more: Set the panel's colors and fonts; define where the panel will appear; act on windows via keyboard shortcuts (H for hide, M for minimize, etc.); and so much more. Give it a test drive now and see all Witch's switching tricks for yourself.
