## DESCRIPTION

By default, both apps and runtimes are shown, but you can change this by using the **--app** or **--runtime** options.

By default, both per-user and system-wide installations are shown. Use the **--user**, **--installation** or **--system** options to change this.

The list command can also be used to find installed apps that use a certain runtime, with the **--app-runtime** option.

- **-h**, **--help**

  Show help options and exit.

- **-u**, **--user**

  List per-user installations.

- **--system**

  List the default system-wide installations.

  List a system-wide installation specified by NAME among those defined in /etc/flatpak/installations.d/. Using **--installation=default** is equivalent to using **--system**.

- **--arch=ARCH**

  List apps/runtimes for this architecture. See **flatpak --supported-arches** for architectures supported by the host.
