Log out and uninstall

Forget the token, remove the client, and what stays behind.

Log out

Terminalsh
ballast logout

This stops the service and deletes the token file on this machine. To revoke the token on Ballast's side too, press Remove device on the device's page in the dashboard. Do that if you lose the machine or sell it.

Uninstall

Terminalsh
ballast uninstall

It asks you to confirm. In a script, add --yes. It removes the client's environment, the systemd unit, the token and the config. It leaves Ollama and any models it pulled in place, because you may use them for other things. To free that space, remove them with Ollama.

If you delete your Ballast account instead, every device token is revoked and your clients stop within one poll. See Trust and privacy for what is kept.
