Export and delete your data

All of Limn’s data is on your computer, so you control it completely. You can download it as one file, remove a single repository, or erase everything. This page shows how, and what each step does not remove.

#Export your data

Limn can give you everything it holds about your account as one JSON file: your repositories, their synced activity, your workspaces and settings, and the AI results. Saved tokens are not in the file; it says only whether one is saved.

1. Make sure Limn is running.
2. In your browser, open http://localhost:4000/api/me/export. If you started Limn on another port, use that port instead of 4000.
3. Your browser saves the file. Its name includes your GitHub login and the date.

#Remove one repository

Removing a repository deletes all of its locally synced data. Open Manage repos & workspaces from the workspace picker in the sidebar (or from the ⌘ K menu), point at the repository, select its remove button and confirm. See Add your repositories.

#Erase everything

1. Stop Limn.
2. Run limn sandbox prune --store to remove every sandbox and Limn’s kept copy of your repositories from your container runtime.
3. Delete the ~/.limn folder (or the folder you set with LIMN_DATA_DIR).

This removes the database, the repository copies, the downloaded AI programs and scoring model, and Limn’s own Codex sign-in. Settings kept only in your browser, such as the colour scheme, stay until you clear the site’s data in the browser.

#What is not removed

Your other tools

• Your gh sign-in and your Claude Code login. Sign out of them with gh auth logout and Claude Code’s own sign-out if you want to.
• Your own clones of your repositories. Limn never changes them.

What Limn sent elsewhere

• Comments, reviews, merges and pushes Limn made on GitHub, and messages it posted to Slack.
• Work sent to Anthropic or OpenAI, which each keeps under its own terms. See How Anthropic and OpenAI treat your work.

#Uninstall Limn

If you run Limn with npx limn-review, there is nothing to uninstall: stop it and, if you like, erase its data as above. If you installed it globally, run npm uninstall -g limn-review.
