What is uninstally?

Uninstally is an app for Mac computers that removes other apps completely, including the leftover files that a normal drag-to-trash delete leaves behind. When you delete an app the usual way, things like preferences, caches, saved data, and logs often stay scattered across your drive, quietly taking up storage. Uninstally finds all the files tied to an app using its bundle identifier, shows you what it found, and lets you decide what to remove before anything is deleted. The app is built with SwiftUI and adds a right-click option in Finder, so you can uninstall an app without even opening it first. It also works with Homebrew, letting you view and remove packages installed that way, and supports removing several apps at once. There is a Collections feature for grouping apps into tabs, a Recently Uninstalled section so you can review or restore something you removed by mistake, and a leftover scanner that searches for orphaned files from apps you already deleted manually outside the app. Updates are handled automatically through a system called Sparkle, with stable, beta, and nightly release options. The interface is built to match native Mac design, with support for screen readers and ten languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and both Simplified and Traditional Chinese. Uninstally runs entirely on your own computer. It does not collect analytics, does not require an account, and does not send your data anywhere. It needs macOS 14 or later, and building it yourself from source requires Xcode 16.
