How to Uninstall 为知笔记 on Mac

Check important notes in the web client and keep an independent export before removing 为知笔记. The recorded uninstall did not sign in, so it says nothing about the survival of a real notebook. The recorded test used a direct download, not a Homebrew installation.

Remove the app and inspect its data

Quit WizNote.app and move it from Applications to Trash. Inspect its support folder before deciding whether local drafts or attachments can go. ~/Library/Application Support/WizNote held 21.8 MB in the recorded installation. The separate Application Support/Caches/wiznote-desktop-updater path is named by the cask as updater cache, not a notebook folder. Vendor guidance.

Check the result

ls -ld ~/Library/'Application Support'/WizNote ~/Library/Logs/WizNote

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/WizNote, updater cache, logs and preferences; the support folder may contain wanted 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 wiznote

What Mole lists

The display-name Application Support/WizNote row is listed for review and not selected by default. Exact bundle-ID cache and preferences are normally selected; confirm any retained local notes before selecting the support row.

What this test covered

Official-package 0.1.107 was removed on September 20 and retested on September 21, 2026. In the selected-review run, the 21.8 MB support folder and logs were removed. No login, sync, notebook export or attachment recovery was tested.
