Description of issue / Feature request

I uninstalled Aerial a couple days ago after installing to check it out. However, for some reason, "com.glouel.AerialUpdater" seems to be running 24/7 as per my ScreenTime. This is really concerning as I cannot find this process in Activity Monitor.

@anirudhgray sorry I missed your thread this week end, can you check in /Applications for AerialCompanion.app ? This is what you need to remove. It's the background updater and depending how you configured it, it's running all the time in your menu bar.

It looks like this in your menu bar too :

Remove AerialCompanion.app and that will fix it.
