Dirs in the App Store

Apps from the Mac App Store run inside the App Sandbox, which limits what any app can reach on your Mac. Because of that, a few features of Dirs aren't available in the App Store version.

Drive health

Reading a drive's health data needs direct access to the drive's hardware, which the sandbox doesn't allow.

Removing local snapshots

The sandbox doesn't let an app list or remove Time Machine's local snapshots. Time Machine removes them by itself when space is needed. You can also manage them in Terminal: tmutil listlocalsnapshots / lists them.

Scanning a folder or disk

The App Store version reads only what you choose in its Open panel. Choose your whole disk to scan everything.

Copy Proof of Purchase

Settings has a Copy Proof of Purchase button. It copies Apple's signed record of your Dirs Pro purchase as one line of text, which you can give to Dirs support if you need it.

The 7-day Trial has no proof of purchase.
