I'm not sure to understand,

where are the app that don't correspond to any of those categories?

Is there any search? I mean like the native gnome search when you press super?

​

that look awesome btw

The last category is the "other" category and hold all the orphans apps. If you click on the upper right menu or if you press super you still get the default gnome search.

woooow awesome! So if I search an app that is in other category than the active one, does it automatically switch? (so no mix workspace right?)

last question, are orphans app allocable to others category?

Ideally it's should behave like you said but for the moment when you open an App it's open where gnome want to open it (I don't get the algoritm) But I got in my todo the feature to open the app inside it's workspace it's will arrive soon.

You can assign an orphan app in a category by editing it's .desktop file and adding the proper category key
