Apps are important building blocks of Magnolia, providing segmented, task-oriented functionality to different users. Technically speaking, an app is simply a UI extension point. How you extend the UI depends on your needs and the needs of your users. Thanks to Magnolia's open architecture, the limits of the app approach are boundless, meaning you can tailor the experience of target work groups by customizing the UI and existing apps - and by creating new apps as needed.

All apps are implemented using the App framework, whether they are apps provided by Magnolia or your own custom-built apps. Because content is at the heart of Magnolia, there is a specific framework subset dedicated to creating apps that manage content; apps created using this framework subset are referred to as content apps. Some examples of content apps are the Pages and Assets apps, some non-content app examples are the Log Tools and About Magnolia apps.

In addition to each app being intended for a specific purpose, you can organize the apps in Magnolia's interface into groups. In the example below taken from Magnolia's demo site, all the content apps are grouped in the Edit group and the Set Up group brings together all the administration apps. You can reorganize these groups, remove them and create your own in the app launcher layout.
