AppPorts is a macOS utility that migrates large applications from /Applications to external storage (SSD, SD card, or NAS) while leaving a tiny launcher stub locally via symbolic links. Apps continue to launch normally from Launchpad and the macOS App Menu, freeing local disk space.
Use cases
- free up macbook disk space by moving apps to an external ssd
- migrate large applications to external storage on macos
- move apps to external drive without breaking launchpad
- reclaim local storage from multi-gigabyte mac apps
- run mac apps from an external drive seamlessly
- clean up mac applications folder with symbolic links
When to choose
- you're on macOS with limited internal storage and an external drive available
- you want apps to keep working normally (Launchpad, self-updates) after migration
- you prefer a native SwiftUI GUI over manual symlink commands
When to avoid
- you need a cross-platform disk management tool (macOS only)
- your external drive isn't reliably connected when launching apps
- you need to migrate system apps or apps with strict sandbox/security restrictions
