What is tinyMediaManager?
tinyMediaManager is a desktop media management app for people who keep local movie and TV show libraries and want cleaner organization and richer metadata. It helps you scan media folders, identify films, shows, seasons, and episodes, and download artwork and details from online databases. The app can generate NFO files and other library data for media-center setups such as Kodi, Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin, making it useful for home theater and self-hosted media workflows. It also includes tools to rename files and folders in consistent patterns, manage movie sets, and update artwork across a collection. tinyMediaManager is developed by Manuel Laggner and is available for macOS as well as other desktop platforms.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
tinyMediaManager is a legitimate media-library tool, but it needs access to the folders where you store your movies and TV shows in order to scan, rename, and update files. Because it can rename media files and write metadata alongside them, review bulk actions before applying them, especially on large libraries or shared storage. Network access for downloading artwork and metadata is normal for this kind of app.
Recommendation: Keep tinyMediaManager if you actively manage a local movie or TV library, especially for Kodi, Plex, Emby, or Jellyfin. If you no longer use it, you can remove it without affecting macOS, though you may want to keep any media folders and metadata files you still rely on.
