What can I do by right-clicking an app in the All Apps grid?

\n

Short answer: Right-click a tile to Open, Reveal in Finder, Move to Fast Drive, Offload, Move Back, Uninstall — or Restore/Remove an offloaded app — and see where the app and its data live.

\n

Right-clicking (or Control-clicking) an app tile gives you its actions without switching tabs:

\n
  • Open and Reveal in Finder
  • Move to Fast Drive or Offload to Fast Drive for apps on your Mac
  • Move Back to This Mac for moved apps
  • Uninstall…
  • for offloaded apps, Restore to This Mac or Remove from Fast Drive…
\n

The bottom of the menu shows where the app itself lives and where its data and caches live, with their sizes.
