You are using the old Mac App Store version of EtreCheck. That version has been discontinued and has no knowledge of current or future versions of macOS. Download and use EtreCheckPro instead. Unfortunately, as the developer of EtreCheck, I’m not allowed to give you the link.

I do have the paid version of EtreCheck, although I cannot remember where the original was downloaded from, before I upgraded.

There is a free upgrade if you had purchased the Power User package in the Mac App Store. Make sure to keep the Mac App Store version installed until after you activate the Power User package in EtreCheckPro. Once you have saved your activation code, you can get rid of the old Mac App Store version of EtreCheck.


I would love to give you a link, but I'm not allowed. You'll have to use Google.

Apple removed it because etresoft wouldn't dumb it down to meet their requirements which would have make it worthless as a diagnostic tool.


There's a lot of outstanding software out there that are not on the App Store. By limiting yourself to the App Store you're severely handicapping yourself in getting the best software for a particular job.
