Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Poe is a legitimate consumer AI app from Quora, Inc. Network access is expected because chats are processed through Poe's online service. Conversations may be sent to Poe and, depending on the bot you use, may be handled under different model and privacy rules, so avoid sharing sensitive personal, financial, medical, or confidential work information unless you are comfortable with that use. If you installed this app intentionally, the bundle ID com.quora.poe.electron is consistent with a desktop build of Poe.
Recommendation: Keep Poe if you use it for AI chat or cross-device conversations. If you no longer use the app, you can remove it to free space, but expect your local app settings and cached data to be cleared while your online Poe account activity remains tied to your account.
