com.pulseway.PulsewayHelper on mac using 100% CPU all the time. Drains entire Mac M1 battery in less than 1h - How to uninstall it?

Posted March 15, 20223 yr

So ive uninstalled the pulseway app from my M1 mac (installed it via app store). but the damn com.pulseway.PulsewayHelper process still autostarts and drains my M1 mac battery in less than 1,5h due ot 100% battery usage. How the hell do i uninstall this process? Rebooting computer doesnt help, and theres no pulseway under the startup options.

Pulseway is not available in AppStore. Native M1 agent is in QA and will be released in 2 weeks. (at the moment the agent is emulated via Rosetta 2 on M1)

You can un uninstall the agent via Terminal:

sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.pulseway.PulsewayHelper.plist
sudo launchctl unload /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.pulseway.PulsewayHelper
sudo launchctl unload /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.pulseway.PulsewayCommandHelper
sudo rm -v /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.pulseway.Pulseway*
