ExiFox
ExiFox is a Mac app for viewing, editing, and removing photo and video metadata such as EXIF, IPTC, XMP, and GPS tags.
What is ExiFox?
ExiFox is a native macOS photo and video metadata editor from Skulkworks. It helps photographers, videographers, and anyone managing media files inspect and control the metadata stored inside their files, including EXIF, IPTC, XMP, and GPS information. You can open files to review grouped metadata, search long tag lists, edit individual fields, and remove sensitive details before sharing or publishing. The app also supports reusable presets, making it easier to apply copyright, contact, or other common metadata across multiple files. ExiFox runs locally on your Mac and is designed for offline use, which fits privacy-conscious workflows and routine media cleanup. It is available as a direct Mac download and is built for macOS 14 or later.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
ExiFox is a legitimate metadata utility for Mac that works on local files and is intended to help you inspect, edit, or remove embedded photo and video information. Access to files you choose is normal for this kind of app. Because it can rewrite metadata and strip location or camera details, the practical risk is accidental changes to original files if you save edits you did not intend. Keep backups of important media before making bulk changes, especially when removing or applying metadata across many files at once.
Recommendation: Keep ExiFox if you use it to review or clean metadata before sharing, archiving, or delivering media. If you no longer need a dedicated metadata editor, you can remove it like any other Mac app, but keep any exported presets or workflow files you still want to reuse.
