Launchpad alternative to organize and launch apps

@anon41602260 posted a nice idea that tags can be dragged into the dock and open in grid, fan, etc. of your choice.

This is something I need to do myself. Especially with all the creative names developers come up with.

App for Collection/Quick Access to Files

In macOS you can drag a tag from the “Tags” section of Finder, to the lower portion of the Dock, then from the contextual menu of that tag in the dock you can choose Display as Folder. So, you can tag your important stuff, and have them accessible as a “folder” in the Dock. Cost $0 (An app I definitely do not recommend for this is Trickster. It is supposed to track files by partial name, or tag, or location, etc., but it never updates the display.)

Plot twist: the tags apparently have to be in the side bar, so you can click All Tags… to see all the tags, then drag your desired tag to the side bar and release. From there you can drag it into the Dock.

Plot twist 2: At least one Apple app (Notes) doesn’t allow tags to be added. (of course)

Hm. Pretty cool just having the tags in the sidebar. You can click to see e.g. notes apps, or drag and drop an app on the notes tag to tag it.
