Project overview
AppPorts moves large applications out of `/Applications` onto an SSD, SD card, or network storage while leaving a small launcher stub in the original location. Apps can still appear and launch normally through Finder and Launchpad, and the utility selects different strategies for native apps, self-updating software, suites, and supported App Store apps. It can also flag broken links when a drive is unavailable. System apps and running apps are blocked from migration, and the current download is not signed with an Apple Developer ID, so macOS may require manual quarantine removal.
