Send to Kindle
Send to Kindle is a macOS desktop app that sends personal documents to your Kindle library and helps transfer files to compatible Kindle devices.
What is Send to Kindle?
Send to Kindle is a desktop utility for macOS that helps Kindle users send personal documents from a Mac to their Kindle library and devices. It supports common reading workflows such as dragging files onto the app, sending from the Finder context menu, and using a print option from Mac applications when available. Users commonly use it to move PDFs, Word documents, EPUB files, and other supported documents onto Kindle for reading with their Amazon account. Amazon also documents USB File Manager support in the Mac app for Kindle Scribe and certain newer Kindle e-readers, allowing file transfers when a direct USB workflow is needed. This makes it most useful for readers who manage personal reading files on a Mac and want an easier way to deliver them to Kindle hardware or Kindle apps.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
This is a legitimate Amazon utility for moving personal documents to Kindle devices and Kindle apps. Access to your files is normal for its purpose because it needs the documents you choose to send or transfer. If you sign in, the app connects to your Amazon account so your documents can be delivered or archived in your Kindle library. Remove it if you no longer use Kindle document delivery from your Mac, but keep in mind that doing so will disable this send-and-transfer workflow.
Recommendation: Keep Send to Kindle if you regularly send documents from your Mac to Kindle or use USB transfers with supported Kindle devices. If you do not use Kindle document delivery, you can remove it without affecting macOS itself, though you will lose its Mac-based sending and USB file management features.
