Legal

Licence Terms

The same terms each app shows when you first open it, and inside the app under Help. Our Terms of Sale, Refund Policy and Privacy Policy also apply.

Terms version 2026-10-14 · in force from 14 October 2026

These terms come in two parts:

• Part A, General terms, the same for every Pangalin app.
• Part B, App terms, a short schedule for each app.

Part A and the schedule for the app you use form one agreement. Where they differ, the app's schedule wins for that app.

---

Part A: General terms

A1. Who we are

These terms are an agreement between you and KGB Equity (Pty) Ltd (registration number 2023/520439/07), a private company registered in South Africa and trading as Pangalin ("Pangalin", "we", "us"). Our address is 44A Bonnie Doon Place, East London, South Africa. Email: hello@pangalin.com. Website: www.pangalin.com.

A2. Agreeing to these terms

You agree to these terms when you tick the box and choose Accept and Continue the first time you open a Pangalin app. If you buy a subscription, you also agree to the checkout terms of our reseller (A6). If you don't agree, don't use the app: quit it and delete it, and if you've paid, ask us for a refund (A8).

You must be 18 or older, or use the app with the consent of a parent or guardian. If you use an app for a business, you confirm you may accept these terms for it.

A3. Your licence

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use the app on every Mac you personally own or control:

• Free features for as long as you like, within any limits the app's schedule sets.
• Paid features for the period your subscription covers, unlocked by the licence key we email you.

We own the apps and all rights in them. You get a licence to use them, not ownership.

A4. What you may not do

You may not:

• sell, rent, sublicense, share or publish the app or your licence key
• copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the app, except where the law allows it despite this term
• remove our notices
• use the app to break the law or to access a Mac or files you have no right to

Treat your licence key like a password: it identifies your subscription.

A5. Your responsibilities

Keep a current backup of your Mac before you use an app to delete, move or change files. You decide what the app changes. Read what the app shows before you confirm an action. Some actions can't be undone (the app's schedule lists them, and the app labels them before you confirm).

A6. Buying a subscription

Subscriptions are sold by our reseller and merchant of record, Polar Software, Inc. ("Polar"). Polar takes your payment, calculates and collects any sales tax, VAT or GST, sends your receipt and runs billing. Your card statement shows Polar. Polar's Checkout Buyer Terms also apply to the purchase. We provide the app, the licence, support and refund decisions.

The price, billing period and any tax are shown at checkout before you pay. Prices are in US dollars unless checkout shows another currency.

A6a. Optional support payments

Some free apps include a Support us link. A support payment is voluntary: you choose the amount, it doesn't unlock anything, and the app works the same whether you pay or not. It's processed by Polar (our merchant of record, see A6) as a one-off payment, never a subscription. Our 14-day refund applies: email us within 14 days and we'll refund it in full.

A7. Renewal, reminders and cancelling

• Automatic renewal: a subscription renews automatically at the end of each period (12 months), at the then-current price, using the payment method you used, until you cancel.
• Reminders: we email you about 11 weeks, 30 days and 7 days before each renewal, with the renewal date, the price and how to cancel. If the price is going to change, we tell you before the renewal it applies to.
• Cancelling: cancel any time, online, at www.pangalin.com/manage/ (our reseller's customer page; you'll be emailed a sign-in code), or by emailing us. Unless the law where you live says otherwise (A13), cancelling stops the next renewal. Your paid features keep working until the end of the period you've paid for.
• If a subscription ends: paid features lock again. Free features keep working. Nothing on your Mac is removed, locked or hidden because a subscription ended, and anything an app moved or deleted can still be put back where the app allows it.

A8. Refunds

If a purchase or a renewal isn't right for you, ask within 14 days (of the purchase, or of the renewal date) and we'll refund it in full, no questions asked. Email hello@pangalin.com or reply to your licence email. Polar returns the money to your original payment method. After 14 days we don't refund the current period, but you can cancel so it doesn't renew. This doesn't affect any right the law where you live gives you, which applies on top of this policy.

A9. Updates and changes

We may release updates that add, change or remove features. We may change these terms. A change takes effect for future purchases and renewals. If we make a material change, we tell you before it takes effect, and the app asks you to accept the new version the next time you open it. The version you accepted governs your current paid period.

A10. No warranty

THE APPS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". TO THE EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, WE GIVE NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don't promise that an app is free of defects, that its measurements or suggestions are right for your Mac, or that it will free any particular amount of space.

A11. Limits on our liability

To the extent the law allows:

• our total liability to you for all claims about the apps or these terms is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose (or USD 10 if you paid nothing); and
• we are not liable for loss of, or damage to, your data or files, for lost profits, revenue or business, or for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss, however it arises, including in contract, delict or tort (including negligence) and under statute.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't lawfully be limited, including liability for:

• death or personal injury caused by negligence
• fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation
• loss caused by our gross negligence
• your rights under consumer law where you live (A13)

A12. Ending these terms

These terms end when you stop using the app and delete it. We may end your licence if you seriously breach A4. Each app has a built-in uninstall option, described in its schedule.

A13. Your rights under consumer law

Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have as a consumer under the law of the country where you live. Where these terms conflict with those rights, those rights apply. In particular:

• South Africa: the Consumer Protection Act may give you further rights, including to cancel a fixed-term agreement on 20 business days' notice, with only a reasonable cancellation charge.
• European Union: you have a 14-day right of withdrawal from a contract for digital content or services. Our 14-day full refund (A8) applies whether or not you'd lost that right by starting to use the app.
  • Germany: after the first 12-month term, your subscription continues for an indefinite period and you may cancel at any time on one month's notice. We refund the unused part of a period you've paid for.
• United Kingdom: if an app damages your device or other digital content because we didn't use reasonable care and skill, you're entitled to a repair or compensation (Consumer Rights Act 2015, s46). Your subscription reminders follow the schedule in A7.
• United States (California and other states): our renewal terms, reminders and online cancellation are designed to meet state automatic-renewal laws.

A14. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of South Africa. The courts of South Africa have non-exclusive jurisdiction. If you're a consumer, you may also bring proceedings in the courts where you live, and the mandatory consumer law of your country applies. Before going to court, please email us. Most problems are fixed quickly.

• South African consumers may also contact the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud (www.cgso.org.za) or the National Consumer Commission.
• EU consumers may use their national consumer bodies.

A15. General

• If any part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies.
• If we don't enforce a term once, we haven't waived it.
• You may not transfer your rights under these terms. We may transfer ours to a business that takes over the app, and your rights stay the same.
• These terms, the app's schedule, our Privacy Notice and Polar's Checkout Buyer Terms are the whole agreement about the apps.
• These terms are written in English. If we provide a translation, the English version applies where they differ, unless the law where you live says otherwise.

A16. Explanations written by Apple Intelligence

Some apps can explain an item, or summarise what an action will do, in plain language ("explanations").

• Written on your Mac. Explanations use Apple's on-device model (Apple Intelligence). They are never sent to us, and our apps don't use Apple's cloud model or any other AI service.
• They describe; they don't decide. An explanation never ticks, unticks, removes or moves anything. What happens to your files is decided by the app's own checks and by what you confirm.
• They can be wrong. The model can be inaccurate or incomplete, and the same item can get a different answer another time. Check what the app shows (the real file, its size and location, and the app's own rating) before you act on an explanation.
• Availability depends on Apple. Explanations need a Mac, macOS version, language and region that support Apple Intelligence, with it turned on. Where it isn't available, the button doesn't appear and the rest of the app works as normal. This doesn't affect your 14-day refund (A8).
• Apple's terms. Apple provides the model, and Apple's own terms for Apple Intelligence apply to it.
• We don't claim any rights in an explanation shown to you.

Part B: App terms

B1. Pangalin Space Manager

What it does. Pangalin Space Manager measures what's using space on your Mac and drives you choose and, only when you tell it to, deletes items (normally to the Trash), moves them to another drive, compresses them, or merges identical copies. If you switch on an automatic move rule, Pangalin Space Manager moves the kinds of items you chose to the drive you chose when free space falls below the level you set. It checks while Pangalin Space Manager is open, and only while that drive is connected; it never moves anything on your Never Clean list, moves at most 10 items or 200 GB at a time, shows what it will move first unless you chose to let it move without asking, and records every move in History so you can put it back.

• Scanning never changes anything. Scanning, History and the explanations are read-only, and scanning and History stay available with or without a subscription.
• Free allowance. Without a subscription you may scan, and free up to 5 GB of space in total on each Mac, at no charge. Everything that frees space counts toward it, by what it actually freed, and only once it has worked. Deleting local Time Machine snapshots and running another developer's own cleanup command need a subscription, because macOS can't report how much space they free. Freeing space beyond 5 GB needs a subscription. The app shows how much of the allowance you've used. The allowance is per Mac and isn't reset by reinstalling the app. If your subscription ends, any of the allowance you haven't used still works.
• Deleting normally sends items to the Trash, which you can recover from until you empty it. While Pangalin Space Manager is open, Edit › Undo puts back your last removal. Otherwise, drag items back out of the Trash (Finder's Put Back isn't offered for files an app moves to the Trash; History shows where they came from).
• Uninstalling an app moves the app and the related files you tick to the Trash, and stops any background helper built into it. If the app was in its own folder in Applications and that folder is left empty, the folder goes to the Trash too. Edit › Undo puts all of it back while Pangalin Space Manager is open. Login items and agents built into the app are stopped once it's in the Trash; system items built into it are listed but not stopped, and macOS can start built-in items again from the Trash at your next login, so empty the Trash to stop them for good. If Homebrew installed the app, you can choose Uninstall with Homebrew: the command is shown first and runs as you; Homebrew deletes the app instead of moving it to the Trash, so Undo can't bring it back, and the leftovers you tick still go to the Trash. Files that an app's installer package or Homebrew lists for it are shown unticked; installer receipts are never removed. For AI apps Pangalin Space Manager knows (such as LM Studio, Jan, GPT4All and ComfyUI), it also lists their model and data folders, unticked, reading the app's own setting to find them if they were moved; it offers them only in your home folder or on a connected drive. Pangalin Space Manager's AI model library reads the same settings.
• Deleting apps from the Trash and resetting permissions. When you choose Delete from Trash…, Pangalin Space Manager permanently deletes only the apps you named in the confirmation, from the top level of your Trash, so macOS drops the background items it keeps for them; it never empties the Trash, and this can't be undone. When you uninstall an app, Pangalin Space Manager asks macOS to reset the privacy permissions that app was given, unless you untick that row. System-wide ones (such as Full Disk Access, Accessibility and Screen Recording) can't be reset by another app, so Pangalin Space Manager tells you to check them in Privacy & Security and opens it for you. A reset can't be undone, and macOS doesn't confirm what it reset. It never resets permissions for Apple's apps or for Pangalin Space Manager itself. Finding apps in the Trash needs Full Disk Access.
• Startup items. Pangalin Space Manager lists the login and background items on your Mac and which app each belongs to, and flags items whose app is gone. With a subscription, and only when you tell it to, it can switch an item off (it renames the item's file so macOS skips it; you can switch it back on in Settings › Startup Items) or remove it (it goes to your Trash). Items in the Mac-wide /Library need the background helper and your approval. Items an app registered from inside itself can't be switched off by Pangalin Space Manager; it shows you where to do that in System Settings. When you tell it to, it can also stop a helper that is still running from an app in the Trash, with or without a subscription. It never switches off or removes macOS's own items.
• Genuine? check. Pangalin Space Manager checks, on your Mac and in the background, each app in its Apps list: who signed it, whether its signature is intact, whether Apple's notarisation ticket is attached to the app or already stored on your Mac, and where it was downloaded from (from the app's download tags and the matching entry in macOS's download history). It shows the result as a coloured tick (gold for an app signed by its known developer, green for signed and notarised, amber for unsigned or a broken signature, red for a possible fake) and remembers the result until the app changes. It says the signer matches the developer only for apps on its built-in list of known developers, and never says an app is safe. It doesn't go online unless you choose Ask Apple too, when macOS's own services ask Apple's servers whether the app's certificate or notarisation was revoked, may look up its notarisation ticket, and run Gatekeeper's own check; Apple receives details that identify the app's signature, not your files.
• Trash watcher (off unless you switch it on). Pangalin Space Manager can offer to remove an app's leftovers when the app leaves your Applications folders. It watches only those folders while Pangalin Space Manager is open, never looks inside the Trash, and removes nothing until you've seen the list and chosen.
• Can't be undone:
  • emptying the Trash
  • deleting local Time Machine snapshots
  • other permanent deletions the app labels before you confirm
  • running another developer's own cleanup command
• Moving to an external drive copies and checks the data, then leaves a link in its place, so apps keep working while the drive is connected. A move is not a backup. If you disconnect, lose or erase that drive, the data on it is gone. Moves can be put back from History while the drive is connected. It refuses drives that can't hold the data safely, such as drives formatted MS-DOS (FAT), and checks there's room before putting a move back.
• Compressing uses Apple's built-in file compression. Files stay where they are and apps read them unchanged. While Pangalin Space Manager is open, Edit › Undo Shrink expands them again. After that, they stay compressed, which does them no harm.
• Merging duplicates checks copies are identical, then lets them share one set of storage on the same disk. Every copy keeps its place and name. Editing one doesn't change the others.
• AI explanations. Where your Mac supports Apple Intelligence, Pangalin Space Manager can explain an item in plain language, written on your Mac, never in the cloud (see A16). Without a subscription you get 3 explanations per Mac, which reinstalling doesn't reset; a subscription unlocks unlimited explanations.
• Caches. Pangalin Space Manager skips the caches of apps that are open, and tells you which. Some caches (including Apple's) come back after they're cleared. The app marks these before you clean them.

Permissions and background parts.

• Pangalin Space Manager asks for Full Disk Access so it can measure parts of your disk macOS hides from every app. You can continue with limited access.
• If you turn on Space Watch, a small background helper checks free space daily and may send a notification (at most one every three days).

Network. Pangalin Space Manager makes one automatic network request: a check for a newer version when it opens. You can switch this off in Settings › Privacy. Other requests happen only when you choose them (for example opening a help page, a licence activation link you click, or Ask Apple too in the Genuine? check). Uninstall with Homebrew runs Homebrew's own program, which may go online. Your files, file names and disk inventory are never sent to us.

Uninstalling. Choose Pangalin Space Manager › Uninstall Pangalin Space Manager…. It removes the background parts and the app's own settings, history, logs and cache, and lists anything only you can finish, such as removing Full Disk Access in System Settings. If an earlier version of Pangalin Space Manager switched off other apps' startup items, uninstalling switches them back on. It keeps four small items in your Mac's Keychain: your licence key (so reinstalling doesn't need it again), the counters for the free allowance and free explanations (so reinstalling doesn't restart them), and a date check that stops a licence being extended by changing the Mac's clock. None of them contains your files or leaves your Mac. To remove them too, open Keychain Access and delete the Pangalin Space Manager licence items.

B2. Pangalin Uninstaller

What it does. Pangalin Uninstaller removes apps you installed and the files they leave behind, resets apps, finds leftovers from apps you've already deleted, checks whether an app is genuine, and lets you see and manage what starts with your Mac.

Before anything is removed. For an uninstall, a reset or a leftover removal, every file it will move is listed with its size first, and you untick anything you want to keep. A folder macOS keeps it out of (on macOS 27, Chrome's and Firefox's folders without Full Disk Access) is listed as "couldn't be checked", without a size, and starts unticked; if macOS refuses to move something, the app tells you what stayed. Licence folders and shared plug-ins start unticked, and shared group containers are always kept. Background jobs that belong to the app are stopped: launch agents before they're moved, and login items and agents built into the app as soon as the app is in the Trash. System items built into the app are listed but not stopped, because that needs administrator rights; they stop for good once you empty the Trash and restart. macOS can start items built into an app again from the Trash at your next login, so empty the Trash to stop them for good. An uninstalled app is removed from macOS's list of apps.

Where removed files go.

• Files go to the Trash. To recover one, drag it back out of the Trash; Finder's Put Back isn't offered for files an app moves to the Trash, and the activity log (below) shows where each came from. Items macOS owns are moved into your Trash by the background helper (below). They keep system ownership and get a random code added to their name, and putting them back into a system folder needs your approval.
• Apps removed with Homebrew. If Homebrew installed an app, you can choose Uninstall with Homebrew. The app shows the command first (brew uninstall --cask <name>) and runs it as you, never with administrator rights. Homebrew deletes the app itself instead of moving it to the Trash, so Undo can't bring it back (reinstalling it with Homebrew can). The leftovers you tick still go to the Trash. Homebrew's own clean-up steps for some apps need your administrator password, which Pangalin Uninstaller never types, so Homebrew stops; you can then use Move to Trash instead.
• Deleting apps from the Trash. macOS keeps an app's login and background items while the app is in the Trash. When you choose Delete from Trash…, Pangalin Uninstaller permanently deletes only the apps you named in the confirmation, from the top level of your Trash; it never empties the Trash or touches anything else in it, and starting one ends Undo for your last removal. This can't be undone. Parts of an app the system owns are deleted by the background helper after your approval. To find these apps it reads the names of the apps at the top level of your Trash and the background-item settings inside them; macOS allows that only with Full Disk Access.
• Undo restores the most recent uninstall, reset or leftover removal while it's still in the Trash (it needs your approval if it included items macOS owns, unless you approved within the last 5 minutes; an item that was changed in the Trash after it was removed isn't put back). It's available until you quit the app, remove something else, or close the status line with ✕.
• System startup items removed through the optional helper don't go to the Trash: they're moved to /Library/Application Support/Pangalin Uninstaller/Removed Startup Items, with the date added. They stay there until you delete them; the app doesn't restore them.
• The Startup tab acts immediately: switching an item off (which renames its file to end in ".disabled"), choosing Remove, or choosing Stop happens straight away, without a review list or Undo. Removed items you own go to the Trash. Stop only ends a running item for now and deletes nothing; macOS may start it again at your next login.
• Emptying the Trash is permanent.

Your administrator password. Most removals never need it. It's needed only for items macOS itself owns, and only when you choose to act on them:

1. Apps and files the system owns. App Store apps, apps from installer packages, and leftovers in system folders are owned by the system. Pangalin Uninstaller moves them to the Trash, and puts them back with Undo, through a small background helper. During setup, step 2 asks you to add it: macOS shows its own window, and clicking Cancel there skips it. If you skip it, the app explains why and macOS asks again the first time it's needed. macOS then asks for your approval (password or Touch ID) before items it owns are moved. One approval covers your removals and Undo for the next 5 minutes, for Pangalin Uninstaller only: no other program can use it, and after 5 minutes macOS asks again. If you decline, nothing changes. It removes App Store apps directly, not through the App Store.
2. System startup items. The same helper switches or removes the system startup items you choose. If you skipped it during setup, turning on system control in the Startup tab asks you to add it. While it's installed, it reads the list of startup items as administrator when you open the Startup tab. Background items in /Library/LaunchAgents that it switches on run as you, never as administrator.
3. Apps in the Trash. The same helper deletes parts of an app in your Trash that the system owns, only when you choose to.

The helper accepts commands only from Pangalin Uninstaller itself. If an older helper is installed, the app asks you to update it (one approval) before using it. You approve in macOS's own window, with your password or Touch ID; the app never sees or stores your password. Nothing else runs with administrator rights. (Version 1.4 works differently; see below.)

What it never removes. macOS itself and Apple's own apps are never offered for removal, and it only removes apps from your Applications folders. Protected system folders are refused.

Genuine? check. Pangalin Uninstaller checks, on your Mac and in the background, each app in its list: who signed it, whether its signature is intact, whether Apple's notarisation ticket is attached to the app or already stored on your Mac, and where it was downloaded from. It shows the result as a coloured tick (gold for an app signed by its known developer, green for signed and notarised, amber for unsigned or a broken signature, red for a possible fake) and remembers the result until the app changes. For the download it reads the app's own download tags and the matching entry in macOS's download history. It says the signer matches the developer only for apps on its built-in list of known developers, and it never says an app is safe. This check doesn't go online. If you choose Ask Apple too, macOS's own services ask Apple's servers whether the app's certificate or notarisation was revoked, may look up its notarisation ticket, and run Gatekeeper's own check; Apple receives details that identify the app's signature, not your files.

Trash watcher (off unless you switch it on). In Settings you can ask Pangalin Uninstaller to offer to remove an app's leftovers when the app leaves your Applications folders. It watches only the Applications folders, never looks inside the Trash, and removes nothing until you've seen the list and chosen. It works while the app is open; if you also switch on Open at login, macOS adds Pangalin Uninstaller to your Login Items so it opens hidden at login. Switching the watcher off removes that login item. macOS asks once whether it may show notifications.

Privacy permissions. When you uninstall an app, or choose Reset permissions for a removed app still in the Trash, Pangalin Uninstaller asks macOS to reset the privacy permissions that app was given (such as Camera, Microphone, Contacts, Photos, Files & Folders and Automation), unless you untick that row. macOS doesn't show which permissions an app had or confirm what it reset, so the app tells you it asked and links to Privacy & Security. Some permissions, such as Full Disk Access, Accessibility, Screen Recording, Input Monitoring and App Management, are system-wide: macOS doesn't let other apps reset them, so Pangalin Uninstaller tells you to check them in Privacy & Security and opens it for you. A reset can't be undone; the app asks for the permission again if you install it later. It never resets permissions for Apple's apps or for Pangalin Uninstaller itself.

Everything is free. Pangalin Uninstaller has no paid tier, no licence and no time limit. It includes:

• uninstalling any app with its leftovers, one at a time or several in one go (one review per app)
• leftovers in your Library and in the Mac-wide /Library: system Application Support, Preferences, Caches, Logs, LaunchAgents, LaunchDaemons, audio plug-ins, kernel extensions, privileged helpers and installer-receipt paths (the receipts themselves are never removed)
• hidden folders in your home folder that belong to the app, such as ~/.ollama or ~/.vscode, including matches in ~/.config, ~/.cache, ~/.local/share and ~/.local/state. To find matches it reads folder names at the top of your home folder and inside those folders. It measures the size of each folder it matches, and for ~/.ollama it reads the list of downloaded models so it can name them. For AI apps it knows (such as LM Studio, Jan, GPT4All and ComfyUI) it also offers their model and data folders, unticked; if the app keeps them somewhere else, it reads the app's own setting to find them, and offers them only if they're in your home folder or on a connected drive. Folders other apps share, such as Hugging Face's model cache, say so. It never offers or looks inside key folders such as ~/.ssh, ~/.aws or ~/.gnupg, or shared toolchains such as ~/.npm or ~/.cargo.
• resetting an app
• finding and removing leftovers from apps you've already deleted
• the Startup tab: see login and background items and which app each belongs to, including items apps register inside their own bundles and items still running from an app in the Trash; switch off or remove your own launch agents; stop items running in your session; and (with the background helper) switch or remove system startup items
• the Genuine? check
• the Trash watcher
• deleting apps that still have background items from the Trash
• resetting an app's privacy permissions
• Homebrew-aware uninstalls, and the files an app's installer package or Homebrew lists for it shown in the review (unticked; installer receipts are never removed)
• AI explanations of files and apps ("What is this app?") and uninstall summaries, written on your Mac by Apple Intelligence where available (see A16), with no limit

A Support us link lets you chip in if you want to (see A6a). It changes nothing in the app.

Permissions. It explains App Management and Full Disk Access and links to System Settings. macOS asks for App Management the first time you uninstall; Full Disk Access is optional, but without it the app can't check some folders (see above). You accept these terms the first time you open the app.

Activity log. It keeps a log of what it removed, refused or did with administrator rights in ~/Library/Application Support/Pangalin Uninstaller (on your Mac only).

Network. Offline by default. It goes online only to check for updates, when you turn automatic checks on or choose Check Now or Check for Updates…; when you choose Ask Apple too in the Genuine? check; or when you click a link (which opens your browser). When you choose Uninstall with Homebrew, Homebrew runs with its automatic updates and analytics switched off, but it's Homebrew's own program and may still go online.

Uninstalling. Choose Pangalin Uninstaller › Uninstall Pangalin Uninstaller…. It removes the background helper (if installed) and the macOS approval rule it added, its settings and any licence key from an earlier version, and moves the app to the Trash. A small counter item from earlier versions' free-explanation limit may stay in your Keychain; it holds no personal data. Normally no administrator password is needed; if the background helper doesn't respond, macOS asks for it once to remove the helper (cancelling stops the whole uninstall, so nothing is changed). It leaves its activity log in ~/Library/Application Support/Pangalin Uninstaller and the folder /Library/Application Support/Pangalin Uninstaller (with any removed startup items), so you can still check or recover them; delete those folders yourself if you want them gone. Dragging the app to the Trash alone leaves the helper installed.

Version 1.4. Until you update to 1.5, these points work differently:

• system-owned apps and files are left in place and reported; a password is asked for only to install the helper for system startup items
• because of a fault in 1.4, the helper installs but can't carry out commands, so system startup items can't be switched or removed, and Uninstall Pangalin Uninstaller… doesn't remove the helper. Updating to 1.5 and then choosing Uninstall Pangalin Uninstaller… removes it (macOS asks for your password once).
• Uninstall Pangalin Uninstaller… removes the free-explanation counter
