Uninstall

Remove Threde from your Mac.

These steps fully remove Threde and its background processes. Your email briefing archive is left untouched unless you choose to delete it.

Option A — Automatic

If the Threde application folder is still present, run this in Terminal:

bash ~/Applications/Threde/uninstall.sh

This stops all background processes, removes the LaunchAgents, deletes the application folder, and clears log files.

Option B — Manual

  1. Stop and remove the LaunchAgents

    Open Terminal and run:

    launchctl bootout gui/$(id -u) ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.threde.briefing.plist 2>/dev/null launchctl bootout gui/$(id -u) ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.threde.watchdog.plist 2>/dev/null launchctl bootout gui/$(id -u) ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.threde.setup.plist 2>/dev/null rm -f ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.threde.briefing.plist rm -f ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.threde.watchdog.plist rm -f ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.threde.setup.plist

  2. Remove the application folder and dock icon

    rm -rf ~/Applications/Threde rm -rf ~/Applications/Threde.app

  3. Remove log files

    rm -f ~/Library/Logs/threde*.log

  4. Remove Threde from the Dock

    If you added Threde to your Dock, right-click its icon → Options → Remove from Dock.

Your briefing archive in ~/Documents/Email Briefings is not removed by the uninstaller. To delete it permanently:

rm -rf ~/Documents/Email\ Briefings
