Loupedeck
Loupedeck is a macOS desktop app used to configure Loupedeck consoles, manage profiles, and control supported creative and streaming workflows.
What is Loupedeck?
Loupedeck is a hardware companion app for macOS that lets you set up and customize Loupedeck control surfaces for creative work, live streaming, and general desktop shortcuts. It is used to assign actions to buttons, dials, and touch controls, switch between app-specific profiles, and tailor workflows for tools such as editing, streaming, and content creation software. The app also provides access to setup guidance, software updates, and downloadable profiles or marketplace content used with supported Loupedeck devices. People typically install it when they own a Loupedeck CT, Loupedeck Live, Loupedeck Live S, or Loupedeck+ and want their device to work properly on Mac. Published by Loupedeck Oy, it functions as the main control and configuration utility for the company’s consoles rather than as a standalone creative app.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Loupedeck is legitimate device-management software for Loupedeck consoles. It may request permissions that are normal for its purpose, such as Accessibility access to trigger shortcuts or control supported apps, and it may run in the background while your console is connected. Keep those permissions limited to what you use, and expect some device features or app integrations to stop working if you remove the software.
Recommendation: Keep Loupedeck if you use a Loupedeck controller or rely on its custom profiles, shortcuts, or integrations. If you no longer use compatible hardware, you can remove the app and its leftover support files, but your device controls and saved workflow integrations will no longer function on this Mac.
