Plexamp
Plexamp is a dedicated music player for Plex that helps you stream, organize, and enjoy your personal music library on Mac.
What is Plexamp?
Plexamp is a native music player built for people who use Plex to manage and play their music collection. It helps you browse albums, artists, playlists, radios, and mixes from your Plex library in a desktop app designed around music listening rather than general media playback. On Mac, it is commonly used to play personal music libraries with gapless playback, loudness leveling, equalizer controls, and curated listening features such as sonic exploration and mood-based stations. The app also supports offline downloads for compatible Plex setups, making it useful for listeners who want a focused music experience across home and portable workflows. Plexamp is published by Plex, Inc. and is primarily aimed at users who keep their own music library in Plex.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Plexamp is legitimate media software for listening to music from a Plex library. Network access, account sign-in, and access to your Plex media data are normal for its purpose. If you use offline downloads, the app may store music files and app data locally, so removing it can also remove downloaded content and listening preferences. Use your normal account security practices and sign in only to Plex accounts you trust.
Recommendation: Keep Plexamp if you use Plex for music playback on your Mac. Remove it if you no longer listen through Plex or want to free space used by downloads and app data, knowing that doing so may clear local settings and offline music.
