Steps
- Open SplitLane, go to Settings > Helper, and choose Uninstall. This automatically removes every route SplitLane applied and completely deletes the helper’s saved state.
- Move SplitLane.app to the Trash.
Once both steps are done, your Mac’s network configuration is back to exactly how it was before you installed SplitLane — every route, the privileged helper, and its background process are all gone.
What stays behind (on purpose)
Your rules and app preferences remain in your user Library so they can be restored if you ever reinstall — they don’t affect your system’s network configuration in any way. If you want a complete removal with nothing left, delete:
~/Library/Application Support/SplitLane/This folder holds rules.json (your saved rules), settings.json (your preferences), and license.json (your license status — not your license key itself, which lives in Keychain).
Harmless OS-level markers
After uninstalling, macOS itself (launchd and Background Task Management) may keep a couple of internal markers referencing SplitLane, even after a restart. These are bookkeeping records, not a running process, and they don’t affect your network or security:
launchctl print system | grep splitlanemay still show a registration entry — this reflects that the helper was once registered, not that it’s running.sfltool dumpbtm | grep splitlanemay still list SplitLane and its helper — this is Background Task Management tracking an app that was, at some point, present in/Applications.
Both clear up on their own once SplitLane.app is no longer in /Applications (step 2 above). There’s normally nothing further to do.
