Uninstall
Remove nala from Windows, macOS, or Linux, and where your data lives if you want it gone too.
Remove the app
Close nala and any open nala terminal sessions first. Stop the daemon if it is still running:
nala daemon stop
- Windows: Settings → Apps → NALA → Uninstall. That removes the app, shortcuts, and
nala/wmuxCLI shims under%LOCALAPPDATA%\NALA\. - macOS: quit NALA, then move
/Applications/NALA.app(or~/Applications/NALA.app) to Trash. Remove the shim if present:rm -f ~/.local/bin/nala ~/.local/bin/wmux. - Linux (DEB):
sudo apt remove nala(ordpkg -r nala). - Linux (RPM):
sudo dnf remove nala(orrpm -e nala). - Linux (AppImage): delete the AppImage (often
~/.local/opt/nala/or~/.local/bin/nala-desktop) and shims in~/.local/bin/nala.
Your data is kept by default
Uninstalling removes the program, not your data. Sessions, scrollback, tasks, and settings live separately so an upgrade or reinstall can pick them up:
| Platform | Data directory (typical) |
|---|---|
| Windows | %APPDATA%\NALA\ and legacy %APPDATA%\wmux\ |
| macOS | ~/Library/Application Support/NALA/ and legacy ~/.config/wmux/ |
| Linux | ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/NALA/ and legacy ~/.config/wmux/ |
Delete those directories only if you want a clean removal of history and settings. Prefer exporting anything you care about first.
MCP registration
If you registered nala as an MCP server with Claude, Codex, or Gemini, unregister so agent configs do not point at a missing binary:
nala mcp unregister
# or legacy:
wmux mcp unregister
See MCP integration.
Reinstalling
The one-line installer works the same way again. Kept data is picked up on first launch; a deleted data directory starts fresh.
