Uninstall

Dragging Pond to the Trash is not enough. The terminal helper keeps running, and your data stays. Go in this order.

1. Quit Pond and its helper

1. Quit Pond from the menu bar (Pond › Quit Pond).
2. End the terminal helper. Pond keeps it running on purpose so your agents survive a quit. Ending it closes every Pond terminal and any agent in one, so finish or save that work first. In Activity Monitor, search for pond-ptyd, select it and choose Quit. If you use Computer use, quit Pond Computer the same way.

2. Remove what Pond left

1. Turn off Open at login in Settings before you delete the app, if you had it on. Otherwise remove Pond under System Settings › General › Login Items.
2. Delete ~/.local/bin/pond, if you installed the command.
3. Delete the ~/.pond folder. This removes your projects list, sessions, settings and the friends files.
4. Open Keychain Access and delete the items for Pond: app.pond.settings-seal and the Friends identity keys.
5. Remove the preferences file ~/Library/Preferences/codes.pond.app.plist.
6. In System Settings › Privacy & Security, remove Pond Computer from Accessibility and Screen Recording.
7. Move Pond to the Trash.

What stays

• The git worktrees Pond made stay in your repos. Remove them first with Remove worktree… in the sidebar or pond worktree remove <name>, or later with git worktree remove. Their pond/... branches are yours to delete.
• Diagnostics zips you saved to Downloads.
• Friends records on the relay. They expire when idle. See Your data.
