Two places. /Applications and ~/Applications.

More, if you count UN*X binaries.

Don't forget iCloud moved half of your home folder to the cloud too, just for fun.


I didn't even realise I still had stuff in ~/Applications. Probably got there via some Installer wizard...

   ls  ~/Applications
   Autodesk Fusion Service Utility.app
   Autodesk Fusion.app
   Chrome Apps.localized
   Edge Apps.localized
   Remove Autodesk Fusion.app

   ls -ls /Applications | wc -l
   94
