Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is a legitimate consumer app from Quora, Inc. It processes account information and chat activity as part of an online AI service, so the main risk is privacy and the sensitivity of content you submit rather than direct system harm.
Recommendation: Keep it if you actively use Poe on your Mac. Remove it if you do not use the service, especially if you prefer not to keep chat history, account-linked AI tools, or related local app data on the device.
