What is Scoop!?
Scoop! is a media information utility for macOS that helps users inspect the technical details of audio and video files. It is designed for people who need quick access to codec, container, and file metadata without opening a full editing or transcoding workflow. Users can review detailed properties for common media formats, compare information across files, and export or print results when they need to share specifications. The app supports a wide range of audio and video codecs as well as common container formats such as MOV, MKV, AVI, MPEG-TS, and MPEG4. Scoop! is published by Macosbytes and is useful for videographers, editors, media archivists, and anyone troubleshooting playback or delivery issues on Mac.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Scoop! is a standard media inspection app for macOS. Reading media metadata is normal for its purpose, and most users can treat it like other file analysis utilities. It may need access to files you choose to inspect, which is expected for this kind of tool. As with any app that opens media files, use files from sources you trust and avoid granting broader access than you need.
Recommendation: Keep Scoop! if you use it to inspect video or audio file details, especially for editing, delivery, or troubleshooting work. If you do not use media metadata tools, you can remove it without affecting macOS, though you will lose its file analysis and export features.
