LINE is a desktop messaging app for macOS that lets you chat, make voice and video calls, and stay connected with your LINE contacts from your Mac.
What is LINE?
LINE is a social communication app for macOS that helps users send messages, join group chats, and place voice or video calls from a desktop computer. It is designed for people who already use LINE on mobile and want to continue conversations from their Mac with synced access to contacts and chats. Common uses include personal messaging, sharing photos and files, keeping up with group conversations, and replying more comfortably with a full keyboard. The Mac app also supports calling features that are useful for one-to-one conversations and group communication. Users typically encounter LINE as a companion desktop app alongside the mobile service, especially in regions where LINE is a primary everyday messaging platform.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
LINE is legitimate communication software. On macOS, access to the microphone, camera, notifications, and network connections is normal for messaging and calling features. If you use file sharing or contact-related features, the app may also handle the content you send through chats. Keep the app updated, review the permissions you grant, and sign out on shared Macs if your conversations should stay private.
Recommendation: Keep LINE if you use it for messaging or calls on your Mac. Remove it if you no longer use the service, but expect desktop chat access, notifications, and calling from your Mac to stop after removal.
