Uninstall Overshow

Remove Overshow completely with the signed uninstaller, or by hand, including local data and macOS privacy grants.

Last updated: 25 August 2026

Overshow keeps the local capture index on your Mac, so uninstalling removes that local application data on the device. Approved records you explicitly published to an organisation repository are separate organisation records and are not removed by uninstalling; they remain until the engagement or organisation is deleted. There are two uninstall routes.

The Signed Uninstaller (Recommended)

Download the uninstaller from your account's devices page, open the downloaded archive, then run Uninstall Overshow.app. The app is signed and notarised, and the account page only shows the download once your release track has published it.

It removes:

  • the Overshow app from Applications
  • the local database, logs, and downloaded models under ~/Library/Application Support/Overshow/
  • browser state, caches, preferences, and LaunchAgents
  • all macOS privacy decisions for the installed Overshow bundle, including Screen Recording, Accessibility, Microphone, System Audio, and Automation, plus keychain entries for your user

It also sends a best-effort uninstall signal so your account reflects the removal, and opens a short feedback page if a session is still available. You will be asked to confirm before anything is deleted.

If the download link is not visible on your devices page yet, your release track has not published the uninstaller. Use the manual route below.

Manual Removal

  1. Quit Overshow from the menu bar.
  2. Drag Overshow.app from Applications to the Bin.
  3. Delete the support directory: ~/Library/Application Support/Overshow/. This contains the encrypted database, logs, and models. Removing it before a reinstall makes the next launch behave as a fresh install and asks you to sign in again.
  4. Optionally clear the privacy grants: open System Settings, then Privacy & Security, and remove Overshow from Screen & System Audio Recording, Accessibility, Microphone, and Automation.

After Uninstalling

Your subscription is not cancelled by uninstalling. Manage billing from your account page, and see Troubleshooting if you are removing the app to fix a problem: a reinstall with a fresh support directory resolves most broken states.
