WickrMe
WickrMe is a secure messaging app for private text, voice, video, and file sharing with end-to-end encrypted conversations.
What is WickrMe?
WickrMe is a secure communication app designed for private messaging and collaboration. It lets people exchange one-to-one and group messages, make voice and video calls, share files, and use timed message expiration for more controlled conversations. The app is aimed at users who want a messaging tool with strong privacy features for personal or team communication. On Mac, it fits workflows where users need to chat, send attachments, and join calls from a desktop environment instead of only on a phone. Wickr, LLC is the publisher associated with this app family. Users typically install it for encrypted communication, temporary messaging, and cross-device conversations.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
WickrMe is a legitimate communication app used for encrypted messaging and calling. It may access contacts, notifications, microphone, camera, and local files when you use calling, invite contacts, or share attachments, which is normal for this type of app. Because conversations and shared files can be sensitive, use it with the account and contacts you trust, and review its privacy settings and notification behavior on shared Macs.
Recommendation: Keep WickrMe if you actively use it for private messaging or calls. If you no longer use the service, removing the app is usually reasonable and may also remove local chat data, cached files, and saved settings from this Mac.
