Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
PhotoCraft is legitimate graphics software and its macOS app is distributed as a signed and notarized build. For its normal purpose, it may need access to files and folders you choose to open or save. Because the project is still in early development, it is wise to keep backups of important working files and avoid relying on it as the only copy of production material until you are satisfied with its stability in your workflow.
Recommendation: Keep PhotoCraft if you use it for image editing or want a native graphics editor on your Mac. If you do not use it, removing it is usually fine and mainly affects your ability to open the app, its settings, and any app-specific working data.
