Air
Air is a JetBrains desktop app for running coding agents on your Mac, reviewing their changes, and working with AI-assisted development tools.
What is Air?
Air is a native desktop app for AI-assisted software development on macOS. It helps developers run coding agents against local projects, review code changes in context, and manage agent-driven tasks from one workspace. The app supports working with projects on your own machine, including local tools, files, and services, which makes it useful for day-to-day coding, experiments, and iterative code review. Air can connect to supported AI providers and can also work with compatible agents installed on the machine, giving developers flexibility in how they set up their workflow. JetBrains publishes Air as part of its developer tooling ecosystem for agentic development across desktop, IDE, and team workflows.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Air is legitimate developer software used to work with AI coding agents and local projects. Because it can interact with your source code, local files, development tools, and connected AI providers, it may handle sensitive project content as part of normal use. That access is expected for its purpose, but you should use it with the same care you would use for any coding tool connected to external AI services. Keep it updated, review changes before applying them, and avoid using it on confidential projects unless its provider and data-sharing settings match your requirements.
Recommendation: Keep Air if you use JetBrains developer tools or AI-assisted coding workflows. If you no longer use it, you can remove the app and its related support files to free space, but doing so may delete local settings, cached data, and saved sign-in or workflow information.
