Shutdown and Uninstall

Stop the Service

  • Tray mode: choose Exit from the tray menu.
  • Terminal mode: close the window launched by start-backend.cmd, start-backend.command, or start-backend.sh, or stop the backend process directly.
  • Docker mode: run docker compose down.

Back Up Before Uninstalling

If you still need your scripts, resources, reports, or schedule history, back up the app data directory first. Common things worth keeping include:

  • scripts/: scripts and script packages
  • files/: resources, screenshots, installer packages, and other assets
  • reports/: batch authorization reports and exported schedule logs
  • device lists, KVDB, TableDB, schedules, and other saved data

Uninstall Steps

  1. Stop the running service.
  2. Remove shortcuts and auto-start entries.
  3. Delete the extracted app directory.
  4. Delete the app data directory only if you no longer need the saved data.
  5. If you used Settings → MCP Install, it is recommended to remove those integrations before uninstalling the app.
