Hi Martin, hope things are going well.

I notice when initially opening the unity lens with <Super>+A and apps
that I've recently used are at the top and "Installed Apps is below"
if I expand that by clicking See all <n> apps, all my apps are listed
and it stays expanded the next time I use unity.

You can also get to this list by using <Super> then clicking on "More Apps"

Hope this helps.
