DjView
DjView is a Mac desktop viewer for DjVu documents, used to open and read scanned books, papers, and other files in the DjVu format.
What is DjView?
DjView is a desktop document viewer for opening and reading files in the DjVu format on Mac. It is part of the DjVuLibre project, which provides tools for working with compressed scanned-document files commonly used for books, journals, manuals, and archived papers. Users typically install DjView when they need to read DjVu documents locally, navigate page by page, and zoom or search through text in supported files. The app is oriented toward reference reading and document access rather than editing or general office work. On macOS, it fits best as a lightweight utility for people who regularly receive or download DjVu files and want a dedicated viewer instead of converting them first.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
DjView is a document viewer used to open DjVu files, so its main access is to the documents you choose to open. That file access is normal for this type of app. If you no longer use DjVu documents, removing the app should only affect your ability to open that format directly on your Mac.
Recommendation: Keep DjView if you read DjVu books, scans, or archived documents on your Mac. If you do not use DjVu files anymore, you can remove it without affecting most other document workflows.
