Choose MoreRoom › Settings… or press ⌘,.
General
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Appearance | Automatic follows macOS; Light or Dark forces one look for every MoreRoom window. |
| Scan automatically at launch | Off (default: MoreRoom opens on its home screen), Home folder or Macintosh HD. |
| Show MoreRoom in the menu bar | Shows or hides the menu bar item. On by default. |
| Open at login, in the menu bar | Opens MoreRoom when you log in, without a window, so Storage Weather keeps measuring. |
| Alert me before my disk fills up | Turns alerts on or off. macOS asks for permission the first time. |
| Play sounds | Plays a short sound when items go to the Trash. |
| Updates | Check for updates automatically, Download and install updates automatically, and Check Now, next to the version number. See Updates. |
| Full Disk Access | Shows On or Off, with Open Settings… to change it. See Full Disk Access. |
Exclusions
Folders listed under Never scanned or cleaned are skipped entirely: they don’t appear on the map and MoreRoom never removes anything inside them. Click + to add folders, select one and click – to remove it, then click Rescan — changes apply on the next scan.
Licence
Shows your Plan (Free, Pro Yearly or Pro Lifetime) and the name of This Mac:
- on Free, Enter Licence Key… opens the Pro sheet, where you can buy Pro or paste a key — see Activate your licence;
- on Pro, Deactivate This Mac removes Pro from this Mac — see Move your licence to a new Mac.
