Use this read-only object to view an entry in the Lightning Platform app menu or the App Launcher. You can create a SOQL query to retrieve all items, even items the user does not see from the user interface.

There are many ways you can use AppMenuItem. Here are some examples:

Build your own App Launcher or app menu in Salesforce. Create a custom page showing all the apps you have access to and that lets you run them using single sign-on.
Build your own App Launcher or app menu on a tablet or mobile app. You can have your own app for launching applications on various mobile devices.
Build an app launcher into your company’s intranet. There’s no need to have it run on Salesforce because Salesforce APIs let you integrate with Salesforce programmatically and build an app launcher.

To get metadata information about apps and their tabs, use the Apex Schema.describeTabs() method, REST API /vXX.X/tabs/ resource, or SOAP API describeTabs() call.
