In the Hue ini [configuration file][1], in the `[desktop]` section, you can enter the names of the app to hide:
{{< highlight bash >}}[desktop]
\# Comma separated list of apps to not load at server startup.
app_blacklist=beeswax,impala,security,filebrowser,jobbrowser,rdbms,jobsub,pig,hbase,sqoop,zookeeper,metastore,spark,oozie,indexer
{{< /highlight >}}
And the main menu will go from
[
][2]
to
[
][3]
You can see a live demo of [enabling only the Search App][4].
**Note**
Some apps might currently still depend on another app and you will get an error if you disable them. For example, 'beeswax' app is used by the 'impala' app.
**Note**
You can find the list of the app names on the `/desktop/dump_config` page.
