# applicationName

The name of the application to display in the About panel.

## Declaration

```swift
static let applicationName: NSApplication.AboutPanelOptionKey
```

## Discussion

Discussion The value of this key is an NSString object containing the app’s name. If you do not specify this key, AppKit uses the value of the CFBundleName key from the app’s Info.plist file. If neither is found, AppKit uses the name of the app’s process.
