uninstall

Remove Cybee from a Mac. Two ways, the same result.

Run one line in Terminal on the Mac. Cybee puts back the settings it changed first, then removes itself. The Mac is marked removed on your company’s list on its own.

one line in Terminalasks for the Mac’s passwordupdated 19.10.2026

Two lines, one result

Both lines do the same thing, and both ask for the Mac’s password.

On the Mac, with Cybee on it

sudo cybee uninstall

When Cybee itself is already gone

curl -sSf https://delete.cybee.dev | sudo sh

This second line also works when the cybee command is no longer on the Mac.

  1. 1

    Open Terminal.

    Press Command and Space, type Terminal, press Return. You can also find it in Applications, in the Utilities folder.

  2. 2

    Type one of the two lines and press Return.

    Type it exactly as it is written here.

  3. 3

    Type your Mac’s password.

    Nothing shows while you type. Press Return when you are done.

What it removes, in order

  1. 1

    Your settings go back first.

    Every setting Cybee changed is put back, so the Mac is as it was before the install.

  2. 2

    Then Cybee itself.

    The protection that runs in the background, the menu bar app and the cybee command.

  3. 3

    Then what it kept on this Mac.

    The quarantine folder and the records kept on the Mac, the AI activity record among them.

  4. 4

    The Mac leaves the company.

    It is marked removed on your company’s list on its own. Nobody has to remove it in the chat.

What Terminal shows

On an employee’s Mac, everything is removed and Terminal asks nothing after the password. On an admin’s Mac, it asks one question.

Terminal
          ~ $ sudo cybee uninstall
          Password:
          
            Keep your AI chats connected to Studio Nord?
        
On an admin’s Mac, shortened. Studio Nord is a made up company.

On an admin’s Mac

Whose MacWhat the uninstall does
An employee’s MacRemoves everything. It asks nothing.
An admin’s MacAsks whether to keep your AI chats connected to the company. By default they stay connected, and you stay an admin.
An admin’s Mac, with --allAlso removes the chat connections and your admin key.

To remove everything on an admin’s Mac, type sudo cybee uninstall --all.

If you kept your chats connected, you can come back later. Ask the chat “invite me as admin”.

On a new Mac with the same Apple ID, Cybee finds your admin key in your iCloud Keychain and offers to rejoin the company.

What stays with the company

  • The Mac’s row stays on the company’s list, marked removed. Its alerts stay too.
  • A Trust Passport already sealed is not affected. Its link keeps working until an admin withdraws it.

The AI activity record was only ever kept on the Mac, so it goes with the uninstall.

A lost or wiped Mac

A Mac that is lost or wiped cannot run the uninstall. Ask your AI assistant to remove it, for example “remove Luca’s old Mac”. It asks you to confirm first.

A Mac that has not reported for 30 days is marked dormant. When a Mac leaves the team

Install Cybee on your Mac.

Not at your Mac? Send these steps to yourself.

Runs on Macs with an Apple chip, M1 or newer, on macOS 15 or newer. To check, open the Apple menu and choose About This Mac: next to Chip, the name starts with Apple M.

curl -sSf https://get.cybee.dev | sh

Run it in one of these places. Keep working there.

  • Terminal

    Open Terminal, paste the line and press Return.

    Then cybee status

  • Chat

    Paste it into your AI assistant’s chat and ask it to install Cybee. This needs an assistant that runs on your Mac. A chat in a browser tab cannot reach your Mac.

    Then /cybee in the same chat

  • IDE

    Paste it into the terminal in Cursor, or ask Cursor to run it.

    Then /cybee in Cursor’s chat

  • CLI

    Ask Claude Code or Codex to run it. macOS asks for your password in a window.

    Then /cybee in the same session

Your Mac may ask for your password. That is macOS checking it is you. When System Settings opens, switch on CybeeES under Full Disk Access. Protection starts then. Full Disk Access lets Cybee watch what programs do. Your files never leave your Mac.

Want the Cybee subscription?

The 14 day trial starts in your AI assistant, after Cybee is installed. Ask for a Trust Passport, or for training. The link arrives in the chat and leads to Stripe, the payment service.
