Why isn't Storage Studio offering me the newest version?

Short answer: If your Mac has an Intel chip, it isn't offered updates, because Storage Studio is for Apple silicon only. On Apple silicon, click Check Now in Settings → License while online.

The most common reason is your Mac's chip: Storage Studio is for Apple silicon only, so an Intel Mac isn't offered newer builds it can't run.

On an Apple silicon Mac:

  1. Open Settings → License and click Check Now on the Updates card.
  2. Make sure you're online — the check needs the internet.
  3. If a version appears on the release notes but isn't offered, it may not be a general release yet; the app offers what's been released to everyone.
