Apps · Safety badges and blocked apps
What does the Override badge mean, and should I move the app anyway?
Short answer: Override means there's a specific known risk, such as an updater that may reinstall the app or a helper tied to its location. Read the reason, then confirm to move it — or leave it if unsure.
Override means there's a known risk with moving this app, so Storage Studio won't move it until you've read the specific reason and confirmed. Clicking Override → Move opens a sheet explaining it — for example that the app's own updater may put it back in the Applications folder, that it has a helper tool tied to its location, or that it needs administrator access.
Many Override apps move fine. Decide based on the reason: if the risk concerns updates and you keep your drive connected, it's usually reasonable. If you're unsure, leave it on your Mac. See moving an Override app.
