Updates and uninstalling
How Kamo updates itself, how to check by hand, and how to remove it completely.
2 min · Written for Kamo 0.1.0
Automatic updates
Kamo checks for a new version when it opens and once a day, by reading the public release feed on GitHub. The check sends nothing about you.
When an update is downloaded, a banner says “Kamo 0.2.0 is ready. Restart now?” with Restart now and Later. Kamo never restarts by itself, and never during a recording or an export. Quitting Kamo also installs a downloaded update.
To check right away: Settings → Updates → Check now.
Optional packs live outside the app folder, so updates don't remove them.
Uninstall
- Quit Kamo: right-click the tray icon and choose Quit Kamo (closing the window keeps it in the tray).
- In Windows, go to Settings → Apps → Installed apps, find Kamo and choose Uninstall.
What stays behind
Uninstalling keeps your work, on purpose:
- Your recordings in
C:\Users\<you>\Kamo\projects(or wherever you moved them). - Your exported videos in the Videos folder.
- Settings, logs and downloaded packs in
%APPDATA%\Kamo.
For a full cleanup, delete those folders by hand.
