# Reset Launchpad on macOS

To reset the Launchpad on macOS, you can use the following terminal command:

```shell
defaults write com.apple.dock ResetLaunchPad -bool true; killall Dock
  1. defaults write: This part of the command is used to write a value to a property list (.plist) file. In this case, you are writing a value to the com.apple.dock property list.

  2. com.apple.dock: This specifies the property list file for the Dock, which includes settings for the Launchpad.

  3. ResetLaunchPad: This is the key (property) that you are modifying. Setting it to true will reset the Launchpad.

  4. -bool true: This sets the value for the ResetLaunchPad key to true, indicating that you want to reset the Launchpad.

  5. killall Dock: After modifying the property list, this command restarts the Dock, applying the changes you made.

After running this command, your Launchpad will be reset to its default configuration, and any customizations you made will be removed. Make sure to save any important Launchpad layouts or organization before running this command.

Remember that using terminal commands can have unintended consequences if used incorrectly, so proceed with caution.
