myTracks
myTracks is a macOS GPS track organizer and photo geotagging app for importing routes, managing track libraries, and adding location data to images.
What is myTracks?
myTracks is a native macOS travel utility for organizing GPS tracks and geotagging photos. It helps hikers, cyclists, travelers, photographers, and other outdoor users import recorded tracks from supported GPS devices, keep them in a searchable library, and work with route data on a Mac. You can drag photo files into the app and match them with GPS recordings so location details can be written into image metadata such as EXIF and IPTC. The app also supports exporting tracks in common formats including GPX, KML, and KMZ for use in other mapping tools. myTracks is available for Apple devices, and its Mac version is focused on managing track libraries and preparing photo and GPS data for later use.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
myTracks is a legitimate GPS and photo geotagging app. Access to location data, imported track files, and selected photos is normal for its purpose. If you use its geotagging tools, remember that writing coordinates into photo metadata can expose where pictures were taken when you share them. Keep it if you use GPS logs or location-aware photo workflows, and review shared exports if you do not want location details included.
Recommendation: Keep myTracks if you organize GPS recordings, export route files, or geotag photos on your Mac. Remove it if you no longer use these workflows, but expect to lose convenient access to its track library and related app data unless you export or back up your information first.
