How to remove an application "tile" from Anaconda Navigator Home tab

I have a bunch of apps that I will never use (GLueviz, Orange3, Rstudio) that I would like gone from my Home tab. They are not installed, but there is no way to remove the tile for the app. The gear icon isn't going to do it for me.

I dug into the config file ~/.anaconda/navigator/anaconda-navigator.ini and nothing obvious there. Oddly it says that vscode_enable = False yet VS Code does appear as a tile.

I'm running 1.9.12 individual edition on MacOS Catalina.

A config.yaml file in the "%userprofile%.anaconda\navigator.anaconda\navigator\applications" folder works for me, but it seems that the number of spaces in front of is_available: false required for this to work is exactly two. Multiple spaces and tabs did not work for me.

ibm_watson:
  is_available: false

You also need to get the name right, but i could not yet figure all of them out.

For Windows 11, create a yaml file called "hidden_apps.yaml" located at "%userprofile%.anaconda\navigator.anaconda\navigator\applications" and select "true" or "false" for the appropriate app:

ibm_watson:
  is_available: false
pycharm_pro:
  is_available: false
deepnote:
  is_available: false
datalore:
  is_available: false
spyder:
  is_available: false
oracle:
  is_available: false
qtconsole:
  is_available: false
powershell_shortcut:
  is_available: false
dataspell:
  is_available: false
console_shortcut:
  is_available: true
vscode:
  is_available: true
notebook:
  is_available: true
jupyterlab:
  is_available: true

Based on the Anaconda docs https://docs.anaconda.com/navigator/tutorials/custom-tiles/, you can create a yaml file that will allow you to disable some of the tiles. In practice, I've found this works for some apps, but may not work for all. For example, some of the gnuradio apps go away, but many do not (e.g., gnuradio-build-deps).

  1. Create a yaml file at ~/.anaconda/navigator/applications/ (MacOS)
  2. Add the code to disable an application from view:
glueviz:
     is_available: false

On navigator 2.1.1, I was able to comment out the two lines for Datalore and IBM Watson in ~/opt/anaconda3/pkgs/anaconda-navigator-2.1.1-py39_0/lib/python3.9/site-packages/anaconda_navigator/api/external_apps/__init__.py.

    web_apps: 'typing_extensions.Final[typing.Mapping[str, WebAppInitializer]]' = {
        #'datalore': DataloreApp,  # noqa: F405
        #'ibm_watson': IBMWatsonApp,  # noqa: F405
    }
