# Titles

`Titles` changes the display name you see in LaunchNext. It does not rename the actual app bundle.

![Titles](https://ucarecdn.com/935caed6-affb-45d2-8445-701221f12678/type.webp)

## Why use this tab

- Shorten long app names
- Standardize naming style across your pages
- Add context suffixes like `Work`, `Dev`, or `Personal`

## Important behavior

Custom titles persist across:

- data imports
- language changes
- app restarts

## Typical workflow

1. Click `Add application` to add a target quickly from picker.
2. Use search to find the app row.
3. Click `Edit`.
4. Enter a custom name.
5. Click `Save`.

## Useful controls

- `Show only application with edited titles`
- Search field for fast filtering
- `Reset` to restore default display name

## Save rules

`Save` stays disabled when:

- the draft is empty
- the draft matches the original value exactly

## Naming tips

- Prefer short names for keyboard navigation
- Use consistent suffix patterns for similar apps
- Avoid duplicates if you rely on visual scanning

## Troubleshooting

## I changed a title but do not see it on grid

1. Confirm you edited the correct app path entry.
2. Refresh the grid or switch pages once.
3. Check [Hidden Apps](https://docs.closex.org/launchnext/settings/hidden-apps.md) in case that app is filtered out.
