Locations are the standard macOS folders Craft uses; some appear only after you use the matching feature.
What happens when you remove Craft
Specific to Craft
Dragging the app to the Trash does not delete its associated folders or your documents. Sandboxed data including images, settings, and local-only spaces remain in the library, occupying between 500 MB – 10 GB. These files persist because macOS separates the application binary from the user container to protect your information.
- License
- Craft paid plans are subscriptions tied to your Craft account or Apple Account and are not cancelled by deleting the app.
- Account and sync
- Craft documents sync to your Craft account; the Mac keeps a local copy of spaces you open.
Preparing to uninstall Craft
Before removal, ensure all offline edits have uploaded to your account. You must manually handle any spaces designated for local-only storage as they are not synced to the cloud. Since the app is sandboxed, you can find remaining data via Finder > Go > Go to Folder using the path ~/Library/Containers/com.lukilabs.lukiapp.
