# App Management

**Kind**: module | **Library**: @interopio/browser | **Access**: `io.appManager`

**Source**: https://docs.interop.io/browser/reference/javascript/app management/index.html

The App Management API provides a way to manage io.Connect Browser apps. It offers abstractions for:

- Application - a web app as a logical entity, registered in io.Connect Browser with some metadata (name, title, version, etc.)
and with all the configuration needed to spawn one or more instances of it.
The App Management API provides facilities for retrieving app metadata and for detecting when an app has been added or removed.

- Instance -  a running copy of a web app hosted in an io.Connect Window. The App Management API provides facilities for
starting and stopping app instances and tracking app and instance related events.

The App Management API is accessible via the [`io.appManager`](https://docs.interop.io/browser/reference/javascript/app%20management/api/index.md) object.
