Agenda had some default projects that I’d like to see again. I haven’t added any notes that I want to keep. I tried deleting and reinstalling, but this didn’t revert to original state.
In order to reset Agenda you have to delete its container:
- quit Agenda
- in Go to Folder in Finder, paste:
~/Library/Containers/ - delete the folder called
com.momenta.agenda.macosor move it to somewhere else if you want to keep a backup of what you had. - in the Terminal.app (Applications > Utilities), type the following command followed by a return:
killall -u $USER cfprefsd - start Agenda
Thank you, but I should have mentioned that I’m using the iPad app, not Mac.
@alexolszewski If you’re trying to restore the sample data, there’s helpful info here: Getting back the sample projects
And a little more for the iOS on the same subject, here: Re-install the sample data
In that case it’s very easy, if you don’t care about the data you already have, simply delete the app (press and hold the app icon) and reinstall it from the App Store.
This didn’t work for me. I have tried everything: followed these instructions a million times, uninstalled and reinstalled Agenda on all my devices, moved and deleted this and that, but no matter what I do, all my old stuff is still there. All my old categories, projects, the window size, etc. remain the same. The only thing that changes is that I get the little introduction video again and sometimes the sample projects return (sometimes they return, but start vanishing one by one for some reason.) All I want is to start over with a clean slate and have Agenda be exactly the way it was when I opened it for the very first time. 
This is most likely caused by your iCloud data being restored. Try the following:
- (force) quit agenda on all your devices or put them in airplane mode
- on one of your devices that is still connected to the internet, go to the settings and turn off iCloud sync. Answer yes to the question whether to remove any data in iCloud.
- remove Agenda from all your devices
- reinstall from the app store
I can’t find any “turn off iCloud sync” option or “remove any data in iCloud” on my iMac. I signed out and followed the steps, and it did work, but as soon as I log on again, everything came back (of course).
These instructions are outdated and do not work.
I have 3 devices (Mac + iPad + iPhone). I remove sync from all of them, delete the Container from MacOS, and delete the apps from all devices.
I then repeat this in the iPad device, thinking the removal procedure may work better than on the mac.
After reinstalling, the content in iCloud always come back.
Please provide accurate instructions on how to reset to “first install” state.
These instructions are still correct:
It’s important however to wait at least a few minutes after step 2 to ensure that the instructions to delete the cloud data have properly been sent to iCloud.
Greetings! I need to do a full reset of agenda. Note: I am a user and not a tech person. This is what I have tried:
Deleted Agenda from iPad and iPhone
- quit Agenda
- in Go to Folder in Finder, paste:
~/Library/Containers/ - delete the folder called com.momenta.agenda.macos or move it to somewhere else if you want to keep a backup of what you had.
- in the Terminal.app (Applications > Utilities), type the following command followed by a return:
killall -u $USER cfprefsd
• • start Agenda
It then asks me to update Agenda to the newest version but when I try, it says that it cannot download it. Try again later"
What should I do?
Please use the Mac App Store or iOS App Store to install Agenda now. We used to support a web site download, but it is better to use the app store from now on.
Are you able to download from the App Store? Have you tried restarting your device?
I’m not sure you will have completely removed the data. Here are our current complete instructions…
If you want to delete the Agenda data, you would have to do the following:
- Remove the app on all iOS devices
- Turn off sync in the app and when requested, remove the cloud data
- Click on Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder, and enter
~/Library/Group Containers. Delete the folder calledWRBK2Z2EG7.group.com.momenta.agenda.macos - Click on Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder, and enter
~/Library/Containers. Delete any folder calledcom.momenta.agenda.macosorAgenda - Drag Agenda app to the Trash and empty Trash.
- Restart the computer.
- Install from the App Store to continue…
Thanks for the quick and courteous response. I tried the download from the App Store but it says “update” and tries and repeats “update”.
I’ll follow your directions and let you know.
I’ve followed your directions. I went to the APP store and tried to download Agenda. It says it ““Agenda” could not be installed. Please try again later.”
I wonder if it was because I deleted Agenda before I went through your routine?
I went into Time Machine and located the Agenda App. I dragged it to my Mac and tried to open it…" *You can’t open the application “Agenda” because it is in a Time Machine backup.
Did you delete the Agenda app before trying to install again? Ie go into Applications, and drag Agenda to the trash, and then choose Empty Trash.
Then try to install from the App Store. If you can make a screenshot of the error for me, it might help.
You might also consider unmounting your backup drive while you try to install. Maybe it is seeing that copy of Agenda, and thinks it is still installed.
Kind regards,
Drew
Hi Drew - sorry to be such a pain - I unmounted the drive and restarted. No go. Attached is a screenshot from the store.
I went back to the Container … there wasn’t WRBK2Z2EG7.group.com.momenta.agenda.macos
There was an error file. Which I have tried to upload but no go (just keeps spinning “upload”
Happy to provide you access to my Mac.
I Drew - problem solved (at least for now) by restoring and then updating a copy from Time Machine. It looks ok for now - I will let you know of any problems.
Thank you so much for you assistance.

Sorry for the trouble. Glad you found a solution.
