1. On MacOS X it's quite impossible to kill the helper and engine processes, so you can remove Kite.app. Something is restarting them automatically, which is really frustrating.

2. It's completely unacceptable to upload code to the cloud.

As far as an uninstall procedure is concerned, the expectations of a MacOS X user do not involve looking up instructions on a web site. The user should be able to quite the app, drag it to the Trash and clean it.

In addition the instructions you posted on the web site do not work. There are two running processes shown in Activity Monitor: a KiteHelper and a KiteEngine. Killing them both does not work, they are resurrected by some process.

I had to manually rm -rf Kite.app, and reboot the machine to get rid of the pesky KiteHelper and KiteEngine processes. Totally unacceptable "uninstall" procedure.

Yea was annoying. To prevent them from resurrecting, remove kite processes managed by launchd before killing the current processes

* launchctl list | egrep kite

* launchctl remove :KITE_LABELS

Thanks. I was losing my mind over this.

So you don't use GitHub.
