# Does Storage Studio report which apps I use?

No. The Apps window reads your apps, their sizes and when you last used them on your Mac so it can suggest what to move — and that list stays on your Mac. App names aren't included in what the app reports.

The same goes for Tuhi: when it tells you which app is using space, it works that out on your Mac.

See [Apps](https://storagestudio.us/faq/apps/) for how the Apps window works.
