Update or Uninstall

There is no in-app updater; the package manager does the work.

Update

Installed viaUpdate command
Homebrew (macOS)brew upgrade keibidrop
DMG (macOS)Download the new DMG, drag over Applications.
.deb (Linux)Re-run the download and sudo apt install ./keibidrop.deb (snippet).
Chocolatey (Windows)choco upgrade keibidrop (can lag the newest release).
.zip (Windows)Download the new .zip, replace the folder.

Quit KeibiDrop before updating. Identity, contacts, and settings survive updates.

New settings after an update

Your config file is not rewritten on update. A setting introduced by a new version is missing from your existing config.toml and silently uses its built-in default. To change it, add the key to the file yourself. The full key list with defaults is the configuration reference.

Uninstall

Installed viaRemove command
Homebrewbrew uninstall keibidrop, optionally brew untap keibisoft/keibidrop
DMGDelete /Applications/KeibiDrop.app
.debsudo apt remove keibidrop
Chocolateychoco uninstall keibidrop
.zipDelete the folder you unzipped.

Disconnect and quit first, so the mount is released.

What stays behind

Package managers remove binaries only. If you want everything gone, also delete:

WhatWhere
Identity, contacts, settings~/.config/keibidrop/ (all platforms; Windows: C:\Users\<you>\.config\keibidrop\)
LogsmacOS ~/Library/Logs/KeibiDrop/; Linux and Windows ~/.local/share/keibidrop/
Received files~/KeibiDrop/Received/, and the empty ~/KeibiDrop/Mount/
Keychain entryIf the master key went to the OS keychain: remove the KeibiDrop entry in Keychain Access, Credential Manager, or your Secret Service manager.

Nothing needs removing on any server: the relay and the bridge hold no account and no files of yours. Deleting the identity is final; a reinstall starts with a fresh fingerprint, and saved contacts on the peer's side stop matching you.
