Today I was surprised to see
aped mdash; Unsanity's Application Enhanced Daemon running on my iMac. I am still not sure how it got installed, most probably it was bundled with one of the applications, like Gizmo Project.
I tried to find instructions on how to install APE but it wasn't an easy task and that's why I posting them here — it is always a pain to uninstall the extensions. You need to do that manually; handy utilities like AppZapper cannot do it.
To remove APE:
- Kill
apedprocess using Activity Monitor - Remove
/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationEnhancer.framework - Remove
/System/Library/SystemConfiguration/ApplicationEnhancer.bundle - Remove
com.unsanity.*plist files from~/Library/Preferences - Log Out / Log In
- Empty Trash
