Before you start
- Using Pro? Free this Mac's place on your license first, so you can use it on another Mac. Remove the Mac on your account page, or, if you used a license key, choose Deactivate this Mac in Tend › Settings.
- Subscribed? Uninstalling doesn't cancel a subscription. Cancel in Manage billing, on your account page or in Tend › Settings.
- Want your history gone too? In Tend › Settings › Your data, choose Delete local history. That removes the battery log, energy history and battery health record in one go.
Remove the app
- In Tend › Settings, turn off Open at login.
- Click Tend's icon in the menu bar and choose Quit.
- In Finder, open Applications and drag Tend to the Trash.
- Empty the Trash.
That removes the app. A few small files stay behind in your Library folder; the next section removes those too.
Remove everything Tend stored
In Finder, choose Go › Go to Folder… and paste each path. Move what you find to the Trash.
| Path | What it is |
|---|---|
~/Library/Application Support/Tend | Battery log (60 days), energy history (30 days) and the daily battery health record |
~/Library/Preferences/app.tendmac.tend.plist | Your settings |
~/Library/Caches/app.tendmac.tend | Temporary files, including downloaded updates |
~/Library/HTTPStorages/app.tendmac.tend | Network cache |
Some of these may not exist on your Mac. That's fine.
Keychain items: if you used Pro or signed in, open Keychain Access, search for app.tend.license and delete the items you find. They hold your license key, license token and sign-in session.
Your account and email
Removing the app doesn't delete your Tend account or unsubscribe you from email.
- To delete your account, use Delete account on your account page.
- To leave the founding list, email support@tendmac.app, or use the unsubscribe link in the launch email. Other emails, such as sign-in codes, only come when you ask for them.
We'd love to know why Tend didn't work out for you. A one-line email helps more than you'd think.
