Apps · The Apps window and launcher

What are the All Apps, Internal, Moved and Offloaded tabs?

Short answer: All Apps is a launcher grid of everything; Internal lists apps on your built-in drive you can move, offload or uninstall; Moved lists apps running from your fast drive; Offloaded lists archived apps you can restore.

They split your apps by where they live and what you can do with them. Each tab shows a count.

  • All Apps — every app, as a searchable launcher grid.
  • Internal — apps still on your Mac's built-in drive. This is where you Move, Offload or Uninstall.
  • Moved — apps now running from your fast drive, with Move back, Offload and Uninstall.
  • Offloaded — apps archived to your fast drive, with Restore and Remove.
