Question

Choose Application (window name) - "Where is [...]?" (prompt)

Just in the past few days I've been getting pop-up window a couple times a day (see screen shot). And I'm not 100% sure what's prompting this, other than I recently installed the "Freedom" (v.2.8) app from the App Store, which is website and app blocker on my MacBook Air (I am running OS Monterey), and I've also been playing around with some new Shortcuts (but I don't think this is connected to the Shortcuts I've been using).

If anyone has advice on how to resolve this issue, I'd appreciate any insights!

With gratitude,

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.2

Pardon the obvious question, but when that window appears, does a program name appear in the Mac's menu bar? Click the window first to make sure it's frontmost.

You could try uninstalling that app to determine if the nags disappear. Just drag it to the Trash. You can always download it again — click your account to show purchased apps.

I have the same problem. No, the program name does not appear in the Mac menu bar. Coincidence or not ... I also have the Freedom app installed. I'll try quitting it and seeing if that helps.

I get a similar thing except mine only asks "Where is (null)?" I'm running Catalina 10.15.7 and can't find anything to fix this.
