Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is a legitimate conversion app distributed through the App Store. Its core purpose is low risk, and the developer states that the app does not collect data from the app itself. Live currency features may rely on internet access, and the listing indicates that the app contains advertising, so users who prefer a simpler experience may want to limit use to offline conversions or choose a paid ad-free option if available.
Recommendation: Keep Metric Conversion tool if you use it for measurement or currency conversions on your Mac. If you no longer use it, removing the app is usually low impact aside from losing saved favorites or quick access to conversions.
