How to List All Applications on a Mac 2019
MacOS applications are introduced a bit uniquely in contrast to Windows. Since they're quite often single .application documents, you can move them around your hard drive a lot simpler. Here's the means by which to find the ones you lost.
From the Applications Folder

This technique is self-evident—simply open your Applications organizer. You can as a rule discover this in the sidebar, at the highest point of your hard drive, or in your Home organizer (the one with your name on it). You can press the "Rundown" catch in the top bar to see everything in a simple to peruse list.
This won't list each and every Application on your drive however, so in the event that you have an application you left in your Downloads organizer, it won't appear here.

The System Information application has a tab for appearing .application document introduced on your framework. Open the application by holding down the Option key and tapping on the Apple logo; the main thing will be System Information.
Look down to Software > Applications and allow it a moment to look through your circle and populate the rundown. This rundown contains each .application document, even framework and inner ones, so alter them at your very own hazard.
Order Line Options

On the off chance that you'd like an effectively modifiable rundown of application document ways for specialized reasons, you can look through your drive with a terminal direction. We'll utilize find, and utilize the - iname banner to scan for documents by name. The linguistic structure for scanning for .application augmentations is:
sudo find/ - iname *.app
Open up the Terminal application by tapping on it in the Dock, glue the above order in, and press enter. It will require a significant stretch of time to pursuit, and it will yield an incredibly not insignificant rundown which incorporates a great deal of inner and framework applications. We'd prescribe channeling the yield to a record.
sudo find/ - iname *.app > filename
This hunts the root catalog and incorporates everything on your hard drive. You'll see a great deal of rehashed registries from applications within applications, for example, Xcode's inside applications. You can dispose of these outcomes with sed and a touch of regex to match and evacuate .application documents within .application records:
sed - I '/\.app.*\.app/d' filename
This will evacuate each section coordinating the example from the rundown of applications you made. This changes the document straightforwardly, so be mindful so as not to run it on whatever else.
