What is File Multi Tool 5?
File Multi Tool 5 is a macOS utility for changing file dates and image metadata so files sort and display the way you want. It is published by Publicspace and is designed for people who need to correct timestamps on photos, adjust creation and modification dates, or keep Finder-visible dates consistent with embedded camera metadata. Common uses include fixing photos after a camera clock was wrong, compensating for time-zone changes, and batch-processing large groups of files. The app also integrates with Finder through a service so users can launch it from contextual workflows. For people who manage photo archives or carefully organized file collections, it provides focused tools for date and attribute editing without requiring a full photo management application.
Key features

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
File Multi Tool 5 is a legitimate file and photo metadata utility. It needs access to the files you choose so it can change timestamps and related attributes, which is normal for its purpose. Because it can edit metadata in batches, mistakes can affect many files at once, so it is wise to test changes on a small set first or keep backups of important photo libraries before making large edits.
Recommendation: Keep File Multi Tool 5 if you actively correct photo timestamps, manage scanned archives, or need precise control over file dates on your Mac. If you no longer use it, removing it is usually fine, but you may want to keep it installed if it is part of an ongoing photo-organization workflow.
