DataGrip
DataGrip is a desktop database IDE for macOS that helps you connect to databases, write SQL, inspect schemas, and manage data.
What is DataGrip?
DataGrip is a native desktop IDE for working with SQL and databases on macOS. It is designed for developers, database administrators, analysts, and other technical users who need one place to query data, browse schemas, and manage database connections. The app supports many relational and NoSQL data sources, and it provides intelligent SQL editing with code completion, navigation, and analysis tools that help users write and troubleshoot queries more efficiently. DataGrip also includes database object browsing, query consoles, import and export options, local history, and plugin support for extending workflows. JetBrains publishes DataGrip as a cross-platform database tool, so teams often use it in development, testing, reporting, and day-to-day database administration tasks.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
DataGrip is legitimate developer software for database work. It commonly stores connection settings, project configuration, query history, and other workspace data on your Mac, so the main privacy consideration is the sensitivity of the databases you connect to and any credentials you choose to save. Network access is expected because the app connects to remote or local database servers. Keep it if you use it, protect saved credentials appropriately, and remove stored projects or settings if you no longer need them.
Recommendation: Keep DataGrip if you use it for SQL development, database browsing, or administration. If you no longer work with it, you can remove the app and its support files to free space, but doing so may delete saved settings, connection details, local history, and other workspace data.
