PowerPhotos
PowerPhotos is a macOS photo library management app that helps you organize, compare, merge, and clean up multiple Apple Photos libraries.
What is PowerPhotos?
PowerPhotos is a native Mac photo management app for working with multiple Apple Photos libraries. It helps users organize separate libraries, move photos and albums between them, merge libraries, and search across collections from one place. The app is especially useful for people who keep personal and work libraries separate, consolidate old libraries, or manage large Photos collections over time. PowerPhotos also includes tools for finding duplicate photos, batch editing metadata, exporting items, and converting older iPhoto or Aperture libraries for use with Apple Photos. It is designed for macOS workflows centered on Apple’s Photos app and gives users more control over library maintenance than Photos provides on its own.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
PowerPhotos is legitimate photo-management software for macOS. Access to your photo libraries is normal for its purpose, and actions such as moving, merging, deleting, or editing metadata can change your library content, so it is wise to keep a current backup before making large changes. If you only use Apple Photos with a single library and do not need advanced library tools, you may not need to keep it installed.
Recommendation: Keep PowerPhotos if you actively manage multiple Photos libraries, merge collections, or clean up duplicates. If you no longer use those workflows, you can remove it without affecting macOS itself, though you should keep backups of your photo libraries before making major library changes.
