Aero
Adobe Aero is a desktop augmented reality authoring app for creating, editing, and sharing interactive AR scenes on Mac.
What is Aero?
Adobe Aero is an augmented reality authoring app that helps users build interactive AR scenes with 2D and 3D content on a Mac. It is designed for designers, creative teams, and developers who want to assemble immersive experiences without starting from a game engine workflow. On desktop, users can create scenes, place and edit assets with more precision, work with cloud documents and recent files, and continue projects across compatible devices. Aero also supports adding behaviors, interactions, and animations that can be used in real-world AR experiences viewed on supported mobile devices. It fits naturally into creative workflows that involve Adobe tools and imported visual assets. Adobe has also published end-of-support information for Aero, so some users may now encounter it mainly while opening older projects or managing past installations.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Aero is legitimate creative software from Adobe. It may access local project files, imported assets, and Adobe account features that are normal for an AR design tool. Removing it does not harm macOS, but it can leave older AR projects harder to edit unless you keep another compatible workflow available. Because Adobe has ended support for Aero, avoid relying on it for new long-term work and keep backups of important project files.
Recommendation: Keep Aero if you still open existing AR projects or need to export content from an older workflow. If you no longer use it, removing the app is reasonable, especially since support has ended; just make sure any important Aero project files are backed up first.
