Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
InkNode is a normal note-taking app, so access to documents, iCloud-related syncing, and user-created content is consistent with its purpose. If you store sensitive class, work, or personal material in the app, review its privacy information and shared-notebook settings before collaborating or uploading documents. Removing the app can also remove local app data that has not been exported or synced elsewhere.
Recommendation: Keep InkNode if you actively use it for notes, PDF annotation, or study workflows across your Apple devices. If you no longer use it, you can remove it after exporting important notebooks and confirming any notes you need are synced or saved in another location.
