Uninstalling

macOS​

Two equivalent paths:

From the Setup Assistant:

  1. Launch Setup Assistant from Applications.
  2. On the splash, click Uninstall.
  3. A confirmation dialog explains what will be removed. Confirm.
  4. macOS prompts for your admin password (uninstall runs as root via osascript).
  5. Uninstall completes in a few seconds.

From Terminal (equivalent):

sudo /Library/Locai/uninstall.sh

Either path:

  • Stops and unloads both LaunchAgents (agent + companion).
  • Kills any running Locai Link processes.
  • Removes /Library/Locai/, /Applications/Locai Link.app, /Applications/Locai Setup Assistant.app, and the /usr/local/bin/locai CLI symlink.
  • Wipes per-user Tauri data: caches, WebKit storage, cookies, preferences, saved window state, Application Support.
  • Removes any pinned Dock tiles for the two apps and reloads the Dock.
  • Unregisters both apps from LaunchServices.
  • Forgets the .pkg receipt so future reinstalls don't inherit stale ownership records.
The device stays registered on Locai Control

To fully remove it, delete it in the Control dashboard.

Linux​

~/.local/share/locai/uninstall.sh

Removes the install root, systemd user unit files, .desktop entries, and hicolor icons. Same Control caveat: the device stays registered until deleted from the Control dashboard.
