Who is "Homed" ?

I keep getting a window saying "Homed" wants my password after upgrading to Mohave. What the heck is this, and if it is legit, why doesn't Apple explain this better? It looks suspicious and the dickens!

com.apple.homed.plist




I do not use the Home.app but from Finder>Go>Go To Folder> copy and paste:


~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.homed.plist


I see activity non the less—
