What does Storage Studio's self-healing monitor do?
Short answer: It's a built-in watchdog that checks Storage Studio's own background parts and silently repairs them — every 5 minutes while you use the app, every 30 minutes while it's hidden, and on wake.
It's a built-in watchdog that checks Storage Studio's own background parts and quietly repairs what has gone wrong — restoring a damaged background helper, restarting one stuck in a loop, waking daily storage snapshots that have gone quiet, and recreating its own settings and log storage if they go missing.
It checks at every launch, every 5 minutes while you're using the app and every 30 minutes while it's hidden. It pauses during sleep and re-checks once on wake. The checks are lightweight and run entirely on your Mac — nothing is sent anywhere.
To see what it found, look at the Self-healing monitor row in Settings → Services; "Repaired N items" means it fixed something for you.
