Yomu
Yomu is an ebook reader for Mac that helps you read, organize, and annotate DRM-free books, PDFs, and comics across Apple devices.
What is Yomu?
Yomu is a native ebook reader for Mac focused on reading DRM-free books and documents in a clean, distraction-light interface. It helps users open and manage common reading formats such as EPUB, MOBI, Kindle files, PDF, and comic archives, making it useful for general reading, study, and personal libraries. Yomu includes reader customization options such as fonts, themes, font sizing, and page or scroll layouts so you can tailor the reading experience to different screens and preferences. It also supports highlights, notes, search, and table-of-contents navigation for longer books and reference material. Books can be imported from local files, AirDrop, iCloud Drive, and cloud services, and a cloud library can sync books and annotations across iPhone, iPad, and Mac through iCloud. Yomu is published by Cecinestpasparis for Apple platforms.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Yomu is a legitimate reading app for Apple devices. Access to files and iCloud is normal for an ebook reader because it needs to open your books and, if you enable syncing, keep your library and annotations available across devices. If you save images to your photo library, macOS may request Photos access for that action. As with any reading app, be mindful of what documents you import if they contain private notes, annotations, or synced reading data.
Recommendation: Keep Yomu if you use it to read or manage ebooks on your Mac, especially if you sync your library across Apple devices. Remove it only if you no longer use it; doing so can interrupt access to its local library, saved settings, and reading annotations on this Mac.
