# What does the green Safe badge mean on an app?

**Safe** means Storage Studio checked the app and found nothing that should cause trouble after a move: no awkward updater, no extra permissions tied to its location, no helpers or fixed paths that point back to the Applications folder. Move it whenever you like — it should keep working exactly as before.

Every move is still verified and reversible, so you can always [move it back](https://storagestudio.us/faq/apps/how-do-i-move-an-app-back-to-my-mac).
