Removing the desktop app takes two short steps: one inside the app, then one on your computer. Your 4thewords account, battles, streak and every word already counted stay exactly as they are.

​
Step 1: Remove from this computer

Open the desktop app, go to Settings, scroll to the bottom and click Remove from this computer. This closes 4thewords, turns off launch at login and disconnects it from the 4thewords browser extension. Tick Also delete the data 4thewords saved on this computer if you want to remove your local data too.
The Remove 4thewords from this computer box, with the Also delete the data 4thewords saved on this computer checkbox and the Cancel and Remove buttons
If something can’t be removed, for example because a browser is still using it, the app lists those files. Close your browser, then delete them yourself.

​
Step 2: Remove the app itself

Drag 4thewords from Applications to the Trash.
No. Your account, battles, streak and words live on 4thewords’ servers, not in the app. Sign in again after reinstalling and everything is there.
No. The extension is separate. It keeps counting on its own once the desktop app is gone. See Permissions & Privacy to remove it too.
