Unsqueeze
Unsqueeze is a Mac app for upscaling videos with on-device AI, helping users increase resolution and improve detail for local video files.
What is Unsqueeze?
Unsqueeze is a photo and video utility for macOS that helps users upscale videos to higher resolutions using on-device AI processing. It is designed for people who want to improve the sharpness and size of existing clips for editing, sharing, archiving, or playback on higher-resolution displays. The app supports offline processing, which is useful for users who prefer to keep video work local instead of uploading files to a cloud service. On Apple Silicon Macs, it uses GPU acceleration to speed up upscaling workflows. Users can work with multiple videos in batches and integrate the app with Shortcuts for simple automation. Unsqueeze is published by Finn Voorhees and is also available as a universal app across Apple platforms.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Unsqueeze is a legitimate video upscaling app for Apple platforms. Its access to local videos and files is normal for an app that imports, processes, and saves media. Because video upscaling can create large output files and temporary working data, it may use substantial disk space and processing power during exports. If you use it, review which folders it can access and keep an eye on available storage before running large batch jobs.
Recommendation: Keep Unsqueeze if you actively use it to enhance or upscale videos. If you no longer need local AI video upscaling, you can remove it like other Mac apps; doing so may also leave behind support files, cache data, or saved preferences until those are cleaned up separately.
