What does that app do again? Any quick way to tell me?

Not trying to be lazy, but last week I noticed that I have over 300 apps on my MBP (I am highly suggestible, and tend to d/l a few after each episode of MPU). Even worse is the fact that I cannot readily identify what these apps do based upon their names.

Wondering whether there is an app that will quickly look at my app folder and produce a list of app names and describe what they do. I don’t look forward to entering the names 1 at a time in my browser, or worse, opening each one individually and assessing. Yeah, I know, I am to blame, as I am an app hoarder and reluctant deleter.

[As an aside, and revealing how old I am, back on my SE/30 I had an app that let me insert a 3.5 in disk and would then produce a nice label listing all the files. Of course it didn’t tell me what they did, but it saved me a ton of time.]

TIA!

This is a prime use case for AI.
Copy the list of app names and put it in AI. Tell it to make you a spreadsheet of all the app’s uses.

Take a screenshot (or more) of your applications folder list view. Upload the pics to AI and ask for a doc listing the app along with it’s usage.
