How to uninstall Agenda on Mac

Agenda keeps your projects and notes in its App Group container, and Mole selects that container by default. On the Agenda community forum the developers give the location as ~/Library/Group Containers/WRBK2Z2EG7.group.com.momenta.agenda.macos/Release/Application/ for Agenda 10 and later (older versions used ~/Library/Containers/com.momenta.agenda.macos/Data/Documents). If you sync with iCloud, a copy lives in your iCloud account; if you do not, that folder is the only copy. Back it up, or untick that row in Mole, before you remove anything. This guide covers Agenda from the Mac App Store.

Back up your notes first

  1. If you sync, open Agenda on another device and check that your latest notes are there.
  2. Quit Agenda and copy the whole ~/Library/Group Containers/WRBK2Z2EG7.group.com.momenta.agenda.macos folder somewhere outside ~/Library. In Finder, press Shift + Command + G and paste the path to open it. The developers also mention Time Machine as a local backup.
  3. Leave the files inside the container as they are. The developers warn that editing or moving them can break the app's data.

Removing the app does not touch your iCloud copy. An App Store subscription is managed in the App Store, as Apple's subscription page describes.

Quit Agenda and remove the app

  1. Quit Agenda from the Agenda menu. In the recorded test it ran as one app process plus two macOS services, which Mole's Status page folded into one Agenda row.
  2. Move Agenda from Finder's Applications folder to the Trash. macOS may ask for your password, since App Store apps are installed by the system.

Agenda carries four extensions inside the app: a Safari Web Clipper, a Share extension, a widget and a Shortcuts action for favorites. They go with the app. In the earlier App Store tests, Safari extensions inside an app disappeared from the system as soon as the app was removed. The test did not show a login item or background item.

Where Agenda keeps its data

Location What it holds What to do
~/Library/Group Containers/WRBK2Z2EG7.group.com.momenta.agenda.macos Your projects and notes, in Release/Application Keep it until your copy or sync is confirmed
~/Library/Containers/com.momenta.agenda.macos The app's own sandbox container; the notes of versions before 10 Remove with the app once you know your notes are elsewhere
~/Library/Containers/com.momenta.agenda.macos.extension-* Containers of the four extensions Remove with the app
~/Library/Application Scripts/com.momenta.agenda.macos and the matching group and extension folders Empty script folders macOS makes for sandboxed apps Remove with the app

Check the result

pgrep -x Agenda
ls "$HOME/Library/Group Containers/WRBK2Z2EG7.group.com.momenta.agenda.macos/Release/Application"
ls -d ~/Library/Containers/com.momenta.agenda.macos*
  • No output from pgrep means Agenda is not running. A number means it is still open.
  • ls listing files means your notes are still on this Mac, which is what you want if you unticked that row. "No such file or directory" means the group container is gone; check your copy or your iCloud data before you empty the Trash.
  • ls -d printing paths means container folders are still there. "No matches found" or "No such file or directory" means they are gone.

What Mole lists

For Agenda from the Mac App Store:

  • The App Group container WRBK2Z2EG7.group.com.momenta.agenda.macos and its Application Scripts folder are selected by default. Its name is exactly the team id, group. and Agenda's own id, which Mole treats as this app's own group. That container holds your notes, so untick it unless your backup is done.
  • The app's container, its Application Scripts folder, its CloudKit cache and its temporary caches are selected by default.
  • The containers and Application Scripts folders of the four extensions are selected by default, since they ship inside the app and their ids continue Agenda's own.
  • Before it trashes a group, Mole checks that no other installed app uses it. It reads the installed-app list from LaunchServices, with one retry. If it still cannot confirm that no other app uses the group, it keeps the group and says so on the row. Do not count on that as a backup: on a normal run the check passes and the group goes to the Trash.

What this test covered

On September 26, 2026, Agenda was installed from the Mac App Store, opened once without signing in or syncing, and uninstalled with a development build of Mole with every row ticked. The App Store copy was owned by the system, so Mole asked once for an administrator password to remove it. Status showed one Agenda row with three processes using about 80 MB. Thirteen items went to the Trash, including the app, its container and the four extension containers. The group container (about 1.8 MB) and its Application Scripts folder stayed: the Mac was under heavy load, the installed-app list could not be read in time, and Mole kept the group as designed. A macOS App Intents index for Agenda under ~/Library/Biome also stayed; macOS manages it. Earlier, on September 21, 2026, Agenda was removed from the App Store copy while Mole was still scanning, so only the app went and its containers stayed. iCloud sync, real notes and Agenda Premium were not tested.
