Hide desktop entries

Apps in the menu are defined as .desktop files here:

  • /usr/share/applications
  • /usr/local/share/applications
  • ~/.local/share/applications

To hide an entry called app.desktop, create this file in ~/.local/share/applications:

app.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
NoDisplay=true

If the entry is already in ~/.local/share/applications, append NoDisplay=true to it directly. It might get overridden.
