Uninstall Treadle

Updated October 1, 2026

Removing Treadle takes two steps. A third step is optional.

Remove the app

  1. Click the Treadle icon in the menu bar and quit Treadle.
  2. Open your Applications folder.
  3. Drag Treadle to the Trash.

That is enough to stop Treadle running. With the app gone, the engine no longer runs, so paired devices can no longer trigger actions. See the concepts page for what the engine is.

Optional: remove the support folder

Treadle leaves a small support folder on your Mac. Removing it is optional. If you want a clean removal, delete it too.

Permissions you granted

The permissions you granted stay listed in System Settings under Privacy & Security. You can turn them off there once Treadle is gone. See permissions for the list.

Your licence

Uninstalling does not deactivate your licence. If you are moving to a new Mac, deactivate first so the seat is freed. See Activate, deactivate and move to a new Mac.

If something went wrong and you are uninstalling to start over, email support@gettreadle.ca first — the fix may be simpler.
