# Why does the Internal tab say "No apps match the current filter"?

Your filters are hiding everything. The Internal tab starts by showing apps you haven't used in 30 days and hides apps that are running, so on a Mac where you use most apps often the list can come up empty.

Lower the **Older than** threshold (choose **All**) or turn off **Hide running**, and the apps appear.
