Launchpad: your dock for work apps in Floutwork

Pin your most-used web tools to the Launchpad and open any of them in one click — no searching, no switching windows, no context lost.

The Launchpad is the app dock built into Floutwork’s work browser. It lines up all the web tools you use every day — Gmail, Slack, Notion, Jira, and more — so you can open any of them instantly without leaving your current workspace or typing a URL.

What the Launchpad does

Instead of bookmarks buried in a toolbar or tabs you have to hunt for, the Launchpad gives every tool a permanent, visible home inside Floutwork. Click an icon to open that app in the current workspace. The app opens in its own grouped tab area, keeping everything organized automatically.

The Launchpad appears in the left sidebar and is accessible from every workspace, including the Shared Workspace.

Pinning web apps to the Launchpad

1. Open the Launchpad editor

   Click the + button at the bottom of the Launchpad in the sidebar, or right-click any empty area of the Launchpad to open the editor.

2. Search for an app

   Type the name of the tool you want to add. Floutwork includes a built-in library of common work apps — select from the list or enter a custom URL.

3. Add the app

   Click Add to pin it to your Launchpad. The app icon appears immediately in the sidebar.

4. Reorder as needed

   Drag icons up or down in the Launchpad to put your most-reached-for tools at the top.

Launching apps from the Launchpad

Click any app icon in the Launchpad to open it in your current workspace. If the app is already open, clicking its icon brings that tab into focus instead of opening a duplicate.

You can also launch apps from the Command Bar by typing the app name — useful when your hands are already on the keyboard.

Organizing your Launchpad for maximum productivity

A well-organized Launchpad reflects the order in which you actually use your tools throughout the day. A few principles that help:

• Put high-frequency tools first. Place the apps you open dozens of times a day — email, chat, task manager — at the top.
• Group by workflow. If you always jump from Figma to a staging URL to Slack, keep them near each other.
• Remove tools you rarely use. A shorter Launchpad is faster to scan than a long one.

Add every tool you open at least once a day. If you find yourself typing a URL into the address bar more than once, it belongs in the Launchpad.
