# App Drawer
Apps that are not needed all the time are shown in the app drawer.
There are several such drawers, but the basic concept is the same.
Besides regular apps, app drawers also show [pinned shortcuts](https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/launch/shortcuts/creating-shortcuts)[^1].
&mu;Launcher treats apps and shortcuts in the same way.
The idea of the app drawer is to search for apps using the keyboard.
By default[^2] an app is launched automatically once it is the only app matching the query.
This can be prevented by typing space.
Usually only two or three characters are needed which is much faster than scrolling to find an app.
[^1]: A pinned shortcut is created for example when pinning a website to the home screen.
[^2]: There are [several settings](/docs/settings/#functionality) available to modify the behavior.
When long clicking an app, additional options are shown:
* Rename the app
* Add to / remove from Favorites: Adds the app to the [Favorite Apps](#favorite-apps) list or removes it from there.
* Hide / Show: This hides the app from all drawers (except from [Hidden Apps](#hidden-apps)) or makes it visible again if it was hidden.
* App Info: Opens the system settings page for the app.
* Uninstall: Tries to uninstall the app or remove the shortcut.
## All Apps
This lists all apps except hidden apps.
By default it is bound to `Swipe up`.
## Favorite Apps
Only shows favorite apps.
Pressing the star icon on the bottom right of any app drawer toggles whether
only favorite apps should be shown.
Additionally the `Favorite Apps` action can be used to launch this drawer directly.
By default it is bound to `Swipe up (left edge)`.
## Private Space
When [private space](/docs/profiles/#private-space) is available, this drawer
shows only apps from the private space.
It can be opened using the `Private Space` action.
If the private space is locked, instead of showing the list the unlock dialog is shown.
By default, apps from the private space are shown in All Apps as well,
however this is [configurable](/docs/settings/#hide-private-space-from-app-list).
## Hidden Apps
This list shows hidden apps.
It is only accessible through the settings.
The feature is intended to be used only for apps which are not needed at all but [can not be uninstalled](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_bloat#Bloatware).
