Safety overview
Status: Safe
Zavala is a legitimate note and outlining app. Access to your files, iCloud, and shared outlines is consistent with its purpose, especially if you use sync, export, image embedding, or collaboration features. If you store sensitive information in outlines, use its locking and encryption options and review your iCloud sharing settings before inviting others.
Recommendation: Keep Zavala if you use it for outlines, notes, or task planning on your Mac or other Apple devices. Remove it only if you no longer need its outlines or sync features, and make sure any important content is exported or available in iCloud before uninstalling.
