• Are these softwares safe to use?

  I'm using MacOS on a M1 Macbook and I've been recommended to use two softwares, namely AppCleaner and Tiles and I would like to ask you if you think they are safe to use. I've heard good things about them, AppCleaner was mentioned to me as a neccesary tool for Mac users to help you remove all the junk files a normal uninstall process wouldn't.
