How to Uninstall Framer on Mac

Open important Framer projects in the browser and confirm the workspace access you need before removing the desktop client. A published site or browser project is not deleted by moving the Mac app to Trash. The recorded test used a direct download, not a Homebrew installation.

Remove the app and inspect its data

Before removing Framer, open the projects you want to keep in the browser and check whether any local work is missing. Then quit Framer and move Framer.app from Applications to Trash. Review locally stored app state separately from workspace membership and billing. The cask names the Framer support folder and preferences; keep that folder until the browser copy is confirmed. Vendor guidance.

Check the result

ls -ld ~/Library/'Application Support'/Framer ~/Library/Preferences/com.framer.electron.plist

Run this read-only check after quitting the app. A printed path still exists; “No such file or directory” means that path is absent, while a permission error needs its own investigation.

If you installed it with Homebrew

The Homebrew cask has a zap list that includes Application Support/Framer, caches, HTTP storage and preferences, not workspace billing or published sites. Run the command below without --zap if you want to keep those files and inspect them separately. A manual --zap follows the whole cask list regardless of Mole’s checkboxes. Mole uses zap only when its targets are selected, owned and within the checked boundary; otherwise it removes selected remnants through its own flow.

brew uninstall --cask framer

What Mole lists

The display-name Application Support/Framer is a review row, unselected by default; exact bundle-ID cache and preferences are normally selected. Mole does not cancel subscriptions or delete workspace projects.

What this test covered

Framer 2026.34.0 from the official archive was removed on September 20, 2026. The selected support folder was removed; the test did not sign in or verify a real project or published site.
