Miro
Miro is a visual collaboration app for creating shared online boards, planning work, and running workshops with teams across devices.
What is Miro?
Miro is a visual collaboration and online whiteboard app that helps teams plan, brainstorm, map ideas, and organize work together. It is used by product teams, designers, project managers, consultants, teachers, and other groups that need a shared space for diagrams, sticky notes, workshops, and reviews. On Mac, the desktop app gives you focused access to Miro boards outside the browser while supporting the core board editing and collaboration workflows. Users commonly rely on it for remote meetings, sprint planning, journey mapping, retrospectives, mind maps, and design feedback. Miro also works across web, mobile, and desktop environments, which makes it useful for teams that move between office, home, and meeting-room setups. The app is published by RealtimeBoard Inc.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Miro is legitimate collaboration software. It stores board content in your workspace and uses network access as a normal part of real-time collaboration, comments, sharing, and syncing across devices. If your boards include company plans, client material, or other sensitive information, use your organization’s sharing rules carefully and sign out on shared Macs. Removing the app does not remove your online boards, but it does remove local app data and desktop access on this Mac.
Recommendation: Keep Miro if you use it for whiteboarding, workshops, or team planning on this Mac. If you no longer use the service, you can remove the app to free space without affecting the boards stored in your Miro account, though you may lose local settings and offline app data on this device.
