CANAL+
CANAL+ is a streaming and live TV app for watching subscribed channels, replay programs, films, series, and sports on Mac.
What is CANAL+?
CANAL+ is a Mac streaming app for watching live TV channels and on-demand programs included with a CANAL+ subscription. It helps subscribers follow sports, films, series, documentaries, kids’ programming, and general entertainment from one desktop app instead of using a browser. The app supports live viewing, replay access, personalized recommendations, user profiles, and cross-device playback so you can continue watching across supported screens. Offline downloads are available for some content, which is useful for travel or limited connectivity. CANAL+ is designed for people who already use CANAL+ services and want a native Mac experience for everyday viewing at home or on the go. It fits best in entertainment-focused workflows where a dedicated desktop app is more convenient than web playback.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
This is a legitimate media streaming app. Network access, account sign-in, and playback-related protections are normal for a subscription video service. If you remove it, you will only lose access to CANAL+ viewing features on this Mac and can still use the service through other supported devices or the web where available.
Recommendation: Keep CANAL+ if you watch CANAL+ content on your Mac or want a dedicated desktop app for live and on-demand viewing. If you no longer use the service, you can remove the app without affecting macOS itself, though downloaded content and local app settings may no longer be available.
