System Requirements

This article covers the general system requirements for FIPLAB apps. Specific requirements for each app are listed on its product page at fiplab.com.

Apple Silicon Support

All actively maintained FIPLAB apps support Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) natively. Apps run as universal binaries, so they perform optimally on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

macOS Version Requirements

• Most apps require macOS 12 Monterey or later.
• Some newer apps or recent major updates may require macOS 13 Ventura or later.
• Check the specific app's page on fiplab.com for exact requirements -- the minimum supported macOS version is listed in the download section.

If you are running an older version of macOS and need a compatible version of an app, contact us. Older builds may be available for your system.

Hardware Requirements

There are no special hardware requirements beyond a supported Mac. Any Mac that can run the minimum required macOS version will run FIPLAB apps without issue.

Full Disk Access for Disk and Cleanup Apps

Some FIPLAB apps require Full Disk Access to function correctly. This includes:

• Disk Doctor Pro
• Disk Map
• Disk Aid
• Duplicate Detective 2
• Delete Apps
• Disk Doctor

These apps need Full Disk Access to perform complete scans of your file system. Without it, macOS will prevent them from accessing certain protected directories, and scan results will be incomplete. See the dedicated Full Disk Access article for setup instructions.
