How to Uninstall Hoppscotch on Mac

Export collections and environments you need before removing Hoppscotch Desktop. The recorded test never signed in, so it does not establish what a workspace can restore afterward. The recorded test used a direct download, not a Homebrew installation.

Remove the app and inspect its data

Quit Hoppscotch and remove Hoppscotch.app from Applications. A separate browser extension or web workspace, if used, remains outside the desktop bundle. The exact app support and WebKit folders can carry local desktop state. Keep exported request data outside those folders before selecting removal. Vendor guidance.

Check the result

ls -ld ~/Library/'Application Support'/io.hoppscotch.desktop ~/Library/WebKit/io.hoppscotch.desktop

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/io.hoppscotch.desktop, cache, saved state and WebKit data. 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 hoppscotch

What Mole lists

Exact bundle-ID application support, cache and WebKit rows are normally selected, so local state in them needs a deliberate backup decision. Mole does not erase a web workspace or account.

What this test covered

The official Hoppscotch 26.8.0 package was copied and removed on September 20, 2026. No sign-in, collection export or remote sync was exercised.
