Why are my apps not downloading on my MacBook

Hi there! I just got a MacBook and trying to figure out how to get my apps from my iPhone and iPad? I have signed in with my Apple ID, pictures and emails have come through. Just not my apps

The apps will only work on the iPhone/iPad. IOS apps do not work on a computer and computer applications do not work on an IOS device. There are some apps/applications that do have an IOS version and a computer version, such as Messages, FaceTime, Mail, Safari, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
