How to Uninstall Sleeve App
Do you want to clean up your desktop and stop paying a premium just for Now Playing widget info? Here is how to completely wipe the Sleeve app from your Mac in under two minutes.
Save $6 & Clear Desktop Clutter
Why pay $6 for a floating desktop widget that clutters your wallpaper and only does music tracking? You can keep your desktop clean by utilizing the dead space of your MacBook notch.
Get more for $0: Download Notchy — a beautiful, native, notch-integrated Now Playing widget for Spotify and Apple Music that also includes clipboard history, file drops, and Pomodoro timers.
Step-by-step removal
Before deleting Sleeve, make sure it is not running. Click the Sleeve helper menu and choose 'Quit'. If it is unresponsive, open Activity Monitor, search for 'Sleeve', and Force Quit it.
Open Finder, go to Applications, locate 'Sleeve.app', drag it to the Trash, and empty your Trash.
Sleeve stores its customization files in your Library. Open Finder, press Cmd+Shift+G, and paste `~/Library/Application Support/Sleeve`. Delete that folder. Next, press Cmd+Shift+G again, paste `~/Library/Preferences/com.replay.sleeve.plist`, and delete that file.
Go to System Settings → General → Login Items. Ensure Sleeve is removed from your login items so macOS doesn't try to open a missing application during startup.
Why pay $6 just to see what song is playing?
Sleeve places a widget directly on your desktop wallpaper. It constantly clutters your background and limits itself only to music controls. Plus, it is a paid app.
Notchy solves the exact same problem by integrating media controls directly inside the unused space of your MacBook notch or as a clean floating pill. It features full Spotify & Apple Music scrubbing and artwork, and includes a clipboard manager, pomodoro timer, and file shelf.
All this is completely native, ultra-lightweight, and **100% Free**.
