Permute
Permute is a macOS media converter that helps you convert, edit, and reorganize video, audio, image, PDF, and text files in one app.
What is Permute?
Permute is a native macOS media conversion app for working with video, audio, images, PDFs, and text files. It is designed for people who regularly need to change file formats, prepare media for devices or apps, or make quick edits without using a full video or image editor. Common tasks include converting movies to MP4 or HEVC, changing audio to MP3 or AAC, resizing or reformatting images, trimming clips, and extracting tracks or subtitles from media files. The app also supports batch-style workflows with presets and drag-and-drop handling, which is useful when you need to process many files at once. Permute is published by Charlie Monroe Software, s.r.o. and is available for Mac users through direct purchase, the Mac App Store, and Setapp.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Permute is legitimate media-conversion software for Mac. It works with files you choose, so the main privacy consideration is the content you open in it, such as videos, audio recordings, images, PDFs, or text documents. File access is normal for its purpose, and removing the app mainly affects your ability to use its presets, settings, and conversion tools. Keep sensitive source files in trusted locations and review exported results before sharing them.
Recommendation: Keep Permute if you use it for format conversion or quick media editing on your Mac. If you no longer use it, you can remove the app; doing so may also remove saved presets and related settings, and files you still want to keep should be backed up first.
