Good to know

A clearer view.
A focused purpose.

Does DriveBar sync my files?

iCloud Drive and macOS handle synchronization. DriveBar observes local file activity and transfer information made available by macOS. It cannot force, pause, or confirm synchronization across all your devices.

Is this a complete history of my iCloud Drive?

DriveBar shows the latest observed activity for each file, up to 200 recent entries. It is not a complete audit log or a backup. Hidden files, app packages, symbolic links, and some generated development folders are excluded.

What do I need to use it?

A Mac running macOS 14 Sonoma or later, iCloud Drive enabled in macOS, and permission for DriveBar to read your iCloud Drive folder. DriveBar supports English and Brazilian Portuguese.
