Uninstall.
Three removal paths depending on how you installed. Leftover data paths are listed so you can decide what to keep.
Quit Aura before uninstalling. Any in-flight worker tasks will be orphaned — check the activity log first if you have active dispatches.
DMG install — drag to Trash.
Quit Aura. Open Finder, navigate to Applications, drag Aura.app to Trash, and empty Trash. The app binary and its bundled resources are removed. Data files in your home directory are not touched — see step 4 for those paths.
Homebrew install — one command.
Quit Aura, then run the standard uninstall. This removes the binary and the cask package; it does not remove data files.
$brew uninstall aura
Installer script — guided cleanup.
If you installed via the one-line script, use the same installer for removal. The default uninstall removes script-installed binaries, the local app wrapper, and Claude Code plugin registration, while preserving local history, config, selected session state, and Keychain credentials.
$bash <(curl -fsSL https://codexini.com/install) --uninstall
Plugin cleanup
Claude Code cleanup is automatic for the Aura plugin cache and aura@aura-local registry entry. Codex helper cleanup still happens from Codex settings until Codex exposes a matching non-interactive removal API.
Leftover data paths.
All three uninstall paths leave data files in place by design — your local history, config, and task audit trail are yours. Remove them manually if you want a clean slate:
~/.aura/ ~/Library/Application Support/aura
Deleting these directories removes local history, your config file, the task thread log, and any locally stored session data. Nothing from these directories was ever uploaded; deleting them is purely local.
To remove locally saved voice credentials and local data at the same time, make that choice explicit:
$bash <(curl -fsSL https://codexini.com/install) --uninstall --purge-keychain --purge-local-data
