Uninstall Another Redis Desktop Manager on Mac

Record the Redis connection details you will need again, including SSH settings, before removing Another Redis Desktop Manager. The databases live on their servers. The September 19, 2026 record covers the app copied from the official package.

Quit and remove the app

Disconnect from Redis, quit the desktop app and move it to Trash. Keep SSH private keys and server databases out of this uninstall. The official page has more product information.

Review the app’s data

Before removal, record the connection host, port, database number and SSH connection settings you need in a private location. Disconnect and quit the app, then copy the whole ~/Library/Application Support/another-redis-desktop-manager folder to a separate secure backup and check the copy. This test did not verify that restoring that folder restores every credential. Press Shift + Command + G in Finder to open each location or its parent and move only unwanted app-owned items to the Trash:

• ~/Library/Application Support/another-redis-desktop-manager
• ~/Library/Preferences/me.qii404.another-redis-desktop-manager.plist

Skip missing items.

If you installed it with Homebrew

The Homebrew cask has its own --zap list. brew uninstall --cask another-redis-desktop-manager removes the cask without that list; brew uninstall --cask --zap another-redis-desktop-manager also acts on its listed data without consulting Mole’s checkboxes. Zap includes saved local connection state, so preserve it if needed. Mole also suppresses zap if its list reaches unchecked data, another app’s shared data, or a scope it cannot verify; it still removes the selected remnants.

brew uninstall --cask another-redis-desktop-manager

Check the result

These commands inspect the running process and one relevant location. They do not remove anything:

pgrep -ifl "Another Redis Desktop Manager"
ls -ld "$HOME/Library/Application Support/another-redis-desktop-manager"

No pgrep match means no full command line matched this product name; it does not rule out a differently named helper. Identify any match before quitting it. A listed path still exists, while an ls “No such file” error means only that exact path is absent. A permission error is inconclusive.

What Mole lists

With Remove data and settings with apps off, Mole lists the display-name Application Support folder for review, unchecked. With it on, the eligible unshared row can be preselected; uncheck it to keep saved connection state. Exact bundle-ID preferences can be selected by default; it does not delete remote Redis data or SSH key files.

What this test covered

The September 19, 2026 official-package test of version 1.7.4 left the display-name support folder unchecked. It did not verify restoration of saved connections or any remote Redis changes.
