Can I move apps installed with Homebrew Cask?

Short answer: Yes. They're marked Caveat because Homebrew upgrades reinstall the app to Applications, but Storage Studio detects that and moves the new version back to your fast drive.

Yes — they get a Caveat badge. Homebrew's upgrades reinstall the app into the Applications folder, which would undo the move, but Storage Studio detects that and re-applies the move automatically.

So you can move them; just expect the app to briefly reappear on your built-in drive after an upgrade until Storage Studio moves it back.
