# Apps

> The anatomy of an App

## Apps

Apps are an organizational unit in Flatfile, designed to manage and coordinate data import workflows across different environments. They serve as containers for organizing related Spaces and provide a consistent configuration that can be deployed across your development pipeline.

Apps can be given [namespaces](https://flatfile.com/docs/guides/namespaces-and-filters.md#app-namespaces) to isolate different parts of your application and control which [listeners](https://flatfile.com/docs/core-concepts/listeners.md) receive events from which spaces.
