# How do I open the Apps window?

Click the **Apps** button in the menu bar popover, or choose **Apps…** from the **More** menu. You can also open the app grid from anywhere with the global keyboard shortcut (⌃Space unless you've changed it), or by clicking Storage Studio's Dock icon when **Show in Dock** is switched on.

The window opens on **All Apps** with the search box ready, so you can start typing straight away.
