Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is legitimate data recovery software, and access to disks and files is normal for its purpose. On macOS, it may request permissions such as Full Disk Access so it can scan protected volumes and find recoverable files. Because recovery tools interact closely with storage devices, avoid installing or saving recovered files back to the same drive you are trying to recover from, since that can reduce recovery success. Download it from the official iBoysoft site or the Apple App Store when possible.
Recommendation: Keep iBoysoft Data Recovery if you use it for file recovery or emergency disk access on your Mac. If you no longer need recovery tools, you can remove it like other apps, but do so only after any recovery work is finished and your important files are safely backed up elsewhere.
