MAX is a desktop messaging app for macOS that lets you chat, make calls, share files, and use MAX services from your Mac.
What is MAX?
MAX is a messaging app for macOS designed for everyday communication and related online services. It helps users send messages, share photos, videos, and files, make voice and video calls, and stay connected across computer and mobile devices. The desktop app is useful for people who want to continue conversations from a Mac with synchronized chats and calls. MAX also supports group communication, channels, and access to web-based services built around the platform. For users who rely on one account across several devices, the Mac app fits into a cross-device workflow alongside the mobile and web versions. It is published by PINPEG, OOO and distributed for Mac directly from the MAX website.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
MAX is a legitimate communication app for Mac. It may request access to contacts, microphone, camera, and notifications so messaging and calling features work as expected. Those permissions are normal for a messenger, but you should grant only the access you plan to use and review privacy settings if you share sensitive conversations or media. Removing the app will stop local access to its chats and calling features on this Mac, though your account and synced data may remain available on other devices or through the web version.
Recommendation: Keep MAX if you use it for messaging, calls, channels, or other MAX services on your Mac. If you no longer use the platform, you can remove the app; you will lose its local convenience on this Mac, but other signed-in devices or the web version may still provide access to your account.
