SimpleDEMViewerAS
SimpleDEMViewerAS is a macOS terrain viewer for exploring digital elevation model data as shaded relief, projection maps, and landscape views.
What is SimpleDEMViewerAS?
SimpleDEMViewerAS is a native macOS graphics and mapping app for browsing digital elevation model (DEM) data as visual terrain maps. It helps users inspect elevation datasets with colored relief shading and generate different map and landscape views from the same source data. Common uses include reviewing topography, creating bird's-eye views, drawing contour lines, and producing projection-based map outputs for research, education, and cartographic work. The app supports many DEM formats, including GeoTIFF, netCDF, SRTM, GLOBE, and other elevation data sources, and it can render panorama, grayscale, orthographic, Mercator, and other map styles. It is published by Jizoh and distributed for Mac users who want a focused desktop tool for terrain visualization rather than a full GIS suite.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
SimpleDEMViewerAS is a legitimate terrain-visualization app for macOS. Access to files and folders is normal for an app that opens DEM datasets and related map resources. Its main privacy consideration is the location data files and project materials you choose to open or store with it. Keep it if you use elevation data or saved map views, and only remove its related support files when you no longer need your settings or working data.
Recommendation: Keep SimpleDEMViewerAS if you use it to view or render terrain and elevation data on your Mac. If you no longer work with DEM files, you can remove the app; just remember that deleting its related support files may also remove saved settings or app-specific working data.
