What is Squeed?
Squeed is a native macOS music tag editor that helps users organize and correct metadata in audio files. It is designed for people who manage local music libraries and need a focused way to edit song, album, artist, artwork, and other tag information. Squeed supports common formats including MP3, FLAC, AIFF, and M4A, making it useful for collectors, DJs, and anyone maintaining carefully labeled music files. The app includes tools for batch editing, file renaming based on metadata, and extracting tag details from filenames.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Squeed works with your local music files, so it needs access to folders where your audio library is stored. That kind of file access is normal for a tag editor. Changes to metadata, filenames, and artwork can affect how tracks appear in music players, so it is wise to keep a backup of important collections before making large batch edits.
Recommendation: Keep Squeed if you actively manage a local music library or need to clean audio metadata on your Mac. If you no longer edit song tags or organize local music files, you can remove it without affecting macOS, though any unfinished tagging work will need another editor.
