Uninstall

Nothing InboxMinder does lives anywhere but your Mac, your Gmail labels and drafts, and your Google account's permission list, so removing it is a short list. Deactivate your license first if you want to use it on another Mac.

1. Deactivate the license (optional)

Preferences → Gatekeeper → License → Deactivate This Mac, or

inboxminder license deactivate

This frees the key for another Mac. Skip it if you are only reinstalling.

2. Stop and remove the agent

From the menu bar: Quit Completely stops the agent. To remove it:

inboxminder agent uninstall

(The CLI is bundled in the app; see Command line for the alias. Do this before deleting the app.) For every extra profile, inboxminder --profile <name> agent uninstall. If the app is already gone, delete ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.inboxminder.agent*.plist and run launchctl bootout gui/$(id -u)/com.inboxminder.agent.

3. Delete the app and its data

rm -rf /Applications/InboxMinder.app
rm -rf ~/.inboxminder
rm -rf ~/.config/inboxminder

~/.inboxminder holds the state database, the index, the status file and logs; ~/.config/inboxminder your settings, instructions and notes. If you pointed [answers] or [docs] at folders of your own, those are yours and untouched.

4. Remove the Keychain items

Open Keychain Access, search for inboxminder, and delete every item whose service is inboxminder or inboxminder.<profile>: Google tokens, provider keys, connector tokens, the license key. Or from the terminal:

security delete-generic-password -s inboxminder -a gmail-tokens

repeated per account name (anthropic, openai, gmail-client-id, gmail-client-secret, license, …), or simply delete them all in Keychain Access.

5. Revoke the Google permission

At myaccount.google.com/permissions, remove the app you created. Optionally delete the OAuth client or the whole project in the Google Cloud console.

What stays in Gmail

Labels the app created (Pending, Resolved, Urgent, the categories, Follow up/…, Ready for follow-up, Assign/…) and any unsent drafts it wrote. Remove labels in Gmail's settings; deleting a label never deletes mail. Drafts are in your Drafts folder to keep or discard.

Nothing remains anywhere else, because nothing was ever sent anywhere else.
