What is Alertable?

Safety overview

Status: Mostly safe

Alertable is a legitimate notification app for emergency and organizational alerts. Access to notifications and location is normal for its purpose, since it needs to deliver relevant alerts for places you choose. If you enable location-based alerts, review the app's location setting to match how you want it to work, especially if you prefer not to allow background location access.

Recommendation: Keep Alertable if you actively use it for emergency updates, community notices, or organization messages. If you no longer rely on those alerts, you can remove it without affecting macOS beyond losing its notifications and saved app settings.
