Apps · Safety badges and blocked apps

Why can't I move apps I installed through Setapp?

Short answer: Setapp manages and re-downloads its own apps, so moving one would conflict with it. Storage Studio leaves Setapp apps in place and marks them Blocked.

Setapp manages its apps' installs, updates and licensing itself, and it re-downloads an app if it thinks the app is missing. Moving one would fight with Setapp, so Storage Studio leaves Setapp apps where they are and marks them Blocked.

They still show in the Apps window (with an S location chip) and you can launch them from the All Apps grid.
