How do I completely uninstall Übersicht?

[lethalbrains]

I removed Übersicht from the application folder and all the widgets from the Application Support folder. But Übersicht keeps respawning with Gettingstarted-jsx.

Hi, did you also delete the App? In general, macOS apps will keep on working even if not in your Application folder

To my surprise, i also had issues with this. Likely due to launcd, but the processes would spawn even after removing them from launchctl ..weird.

aka, osx would not let me delete the app because it kept restarting it and i could not successfully locate the launchd file that was spawning the processes...

However, this works:

OSX will not let you remove a program that is running, you can bypass this.

1. Go to applications folder
2. locate app
3. inspect contents of app(right click -> show package contents)
4. delete the entire contents folder
5. Quit app (may have to kill all processes)
6. delete the app launcher voila

That sounds annoying! I finally had some time to look into this:

I am setting 'login item' when you check 'Launch Übersicht when I login'. I double checked and that does not seem to be the same as registering a launchd/launchctl daemon. I also don't see Übersicht in the launchctl list. I'm also not aware of any other parts of the app that would register a daemon (the background process is launched via NSTask).

You mentioned that you did see Übersicht and had to remove it from launchctl. If so, what was the bundle id?

I was getting a line like the following from launchctl list: 17879 0 tracesOf.Uebersicht.43112

The service would persistently restart itself. I suspect I had the same issue as the people posting above.

I couldn't remove it, but what @hpl002 said worked for me.

launchctl list | grep Uebersicht gave me:

77575	0	application.tracesOf.Uebersicht.8670325928.8670325938

Oh I have one more suggestion about possible culprit: a previous version of the widget "simple-bar" suggested that you configure yabai to send some applescript to Uebersicht when spaces change. I suspect these messages could restart Uebersicht if it was closed.

I do see the same behavior
