I use this page to determine what each swipe does. What you're describing is called "Launchpad".
- Use Multi-Touch gestures on your Mac
It looks like this when you open it:

This is the swipe you're describing

That's funny, I reviewed that webpage in my initial google search, but I was skimming and looking for "4 fingers" and this gesture is described as "thumb and three fingers". I actually use 4 fingers and not my thumb. The nuances!

@TimothySteele - it's what feels like it fits when you do it. I feel like I'm summoning a genie when I swipe.

The screen is called Launchpad and is a feature built-into macOS. First introduced in Mac OS X Lion 10.7, it displays a grid of icons corresponding to installed apps. This feature is inspired from iOS which displays a grid of icons for installed apps.
This gesture is pre-defined for Trackpad and can be turned on/off under System Preferences → Trackpad → More Gestures
There are other easy ways to invoke Launchpad too:
- Press the special F4 key on your MacBook's built in keyboard or Apple keyboard, which is pre-programmed to invoke Launchpad on modern Macs which came after Launchpad feature was introduced. The key shows a grid of square.
- Use the Launchpad app icon which is present by default in the Dock and looks like this:
