zap

A simple command line tool to remove a .app on macOS and its related files.

Think AppZapper from the command line.

Zap asks you for permission before deleting each file

Usage

To delete an application in /Applications or ~/Applications

zap foo.app

To delete a specific application:

zap /path/foo.app

To delete an application securely use -s (this must come before the application):

zap -s foo.app

brew install keith/formulae/zap

Without Homebrew just copy zap to somewhere in your $PATH. If you would also like the zsh completions copy _zap to somewhere in your $fpath.

This CLI deletes stuff. If it deletes the wrong stuff it isn't my fault.
