# Uninstall Pomeroy

> How to remove Pomeroy completely, including its settings, the pseudonymous identifier the usage counts share, and the macOS grants it holds.

No uninstaller, no script to run, and nothing left behind that you cannot see.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Quit Pomeroy">
    Click the menu-bar icon and choose **Quit**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Move the app to the Trash">
    Drag `Pomeroy.app` out of your Applications folder.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Delete its settings">
    ```sh theme={null}
    defaults delete com.joesaunderson.pomeroy
    ```

    This throws away your toggles, your licence activation on this Mac, the
    Messages bookmark, and **the random identifier the four usage counts
    share**. The next identifier, if you ever reinstall, is unrelated to the
    last.

    A count that has already been sent stays sent, and nothing here un-sends it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Delete its support folder">
    ```sh theme={null}
    rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.joesaunderson.pomeroy
    rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Pomeroy
    ```

    The first holds the counting library's own two identifiers, which never
    leave your Mac, and its queue of counts waiting to be sent. The second holds
    the socket your assistants connect through.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Take back the macOS grants">
    Open **System Settings → Privacy & Security** and remove Pomeroy from
    Calendars, Reminders, Contacts, Automation and Location.

    macOS owns these, so deleting the app does not clear them. Pomeroy is not in
    the Accessibility or Screen Recording lists, because it never asked.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Removing the assistant configuration

Each assistant keeps its own record of the server. Removing Pomeroy leaves a
configuration that points at nothing, which is harmless but untidy.

| Assistant      | Where                                                                                      |

| Codex          | `codex mcp remove pomeroy`, or the `[mcp_servers.pomeroy]` table in `~/.codex/config.toml` |
| Cursor         | The `pomeroy` key in `~/.cursor/mcp.json`                                                  |

| LM Studio      | The `pomeroy` key in `~/.lmstudio/mcp.json`                                                |
| Others         | The `pomeroy` key in the file named on that assistant's page                               |

## Before you go

If something was wrong, [hello@pomeroy.app](mailto:hello@pomeroy.app) reads
every message. If you bought Pomeroy in the last 14 days, the refund needs no
explanation. [How to ask](/docs/licence/moving-and-refunds#refunds).
