The built-in tooling for this is <code>launchctl</code> — a CLI tool with inconsistent syntax and no visual interface. LaunchPad Manager fixes that.</p> <p><strong>What it does:</strong></p> <p>A SwiftUI app with three main sections:</p> <p><strong>Dashboard</strong> — Shows all registered services with live status indicators, filtering by domain (user/system/global), sorting by name or status, and hover-accessible actions (start, stop, unload). Status auto-refreshes every 10 seconds via the <code>launchctl</code> actor.</p>
