Work on Launchpad-Control was discontinued in 2013, as Apple started putting obstacles in my way by changing their database reindexing. This tool does and will not work for 10.8+.

What is Launchpad-Control?
Launchpad-Control is a small tool which allows you to easily hide/unhide apps (and groups) from Launchpad in Mac OS X Lion. A huge disadvantage of Launchpad is that every app located in your /Applications folder is shown. That means that you will see little helper programs like uninstallers or updaters, too. These apps can’t be hidden from Launchpad easily because Apple does not provide any preference pane or tool to do so.
