What is PigeonCast?
PigeonCast is a macOS screen mirroring and casting app built for sharing screens, audio, video, photos, and files between devices. It helps users turn a Mac into a wireless receiver for compatible phones, tablets, TVs, and computers, while also letting the Mac send media or its screen to supported displays. Common uses include presenting on a larger screen, receiving AirPlay-style streams on a Mac, mirroring a phone to a desktop, and moving files between devices without cables. The app supports cross-platform workflows involving Mac, Windows, iPhone, iPad, smart TVs, and other supported receivers. It is most useful for home entertainment, meetings, demos, classroom sharing, and simple local media transfer. PigeonCast is published by Pigeoncast and is positioned as a utility for wireless display and device-to-device sharing.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
PigeonCast is used for screen mirroring, casting, and file transfer, so network access and local device discovery are normal for its purpose. Depending on how you use it, the app may also need access related to screen sharing or receiving media streams. That behavior is expected for a casting utility, but you should only use it on networks and with devices you trust, especially when sharing your screen or transferring files. If you no longer use wireless casting on your Mac, removing the app should mainly affect those sharing features.
Recommendation: Keep PigeonCast if you use your Mac for wireless screen mirroring, receiving casts, or cross-device file sharing. If you do not use those features, you can remove it to reduce background device discovery and simplify your app list.
