My Apps: an app launcher for SharePoint
The Sprocket My Apps web part is an app launcher for SharePoint that shows the online tools your organisation uses, with apps admins can make mandatory and staff can reorder.
Staff waste time hunting for the right login page. My Apps puts every tool on the intranet home page. Administrators define the set of apps, and each person arranges them to suit how they work.
My Apps features

- Mark apps as mandatory so they always show
- Staff rearrange their apps by drag and drop
- Square or circle icons, with labels on or off
- Align apps left, centre or right
