   `app.name()`
+
+  A String property that indicates the current application's name, which is the name in
+  the application's package.json file.
+
+  Usually the name field of package.json is a short lowercase name, according to the npm
+  modules spec. You should usually also specify a productName field, which is your
+  application's full capitalized name, and which will be preferred over name by Electron.
