The good news is that at least Disk Utility can now do a better job of it than it could a decade or two ago when it always seemed to be a disappointment in that regard, which made Disk Warrior and TechTool Pro popular and in some cases invaluable. Nothing outside of Apple's own DiskUtility can repair the directory on a drive formatted as APFS. It's just that if you expect them to be able to do the sort of near-miraculous repair of a failing APFS formatted drive that DiskWarrior was once famous for doing on HFS+ drives, you will be sorely disappointed. Now runs on Apple Silicon M1 & M2 Macs to rebuild Mac OS Extended volumes. Here are the changes: Supports OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion through macOS 13 Ventura when rebuilding Mac OS Extended volumes. This is not to say that TTP and OnyX aren't useful tools in some instances. Unfortunately, it still does not support APFS. OnyX doesn't make any claims to being able to repair the directory on your hard drive, not even your HFS+ formatted drive. If you look through MicroMat's Web site for TechTool Pro, they do their best to try and make you believe that TTP can repair the directory on an APFS formatted drive, but if you read their page very carefully, you will find that they more or less explicitly admit that TTP doesn't have that ability. They can do other, mostly minor things, but because Apple hasn't released the specs for APFS (and it seems as if they never intend to), no third party hard drive repair utility will ever be able to repair the directory on an APFS drive. Neither one can repair the directory on an APFS formatted drive. That isn't accurate if one is referring to repairing the directory on APFS drives. Folks in this thread have stated that both TechTool Pro and Onyx can repair APFS formatted drives.
