Every device signed in to your account is listed in one place, and any of them can be signed out from here — including ones you no longer physically have.
Open Settings (⌘,) and pick Devices.
What you’ll see
A row per device, each showing:
- the device name
- when it was last used
- a This Mac badge on the one you’re currently using
The Mac you’re on has no Sign Out button next to it — you sign out of the current device from the Account tab instead. Everything else in the list has one.
Sign one out
Click Sign Out on its row. That device’s session is revoked: the next time the app on it tries to reach your library, it will be asked to sign in again.
This is the thing to do when a phone is lost or sold, or when you’ve signed in somewhere you’d rather not stay signed in.
It doesn’t delete anything. Signing a device out revokes its access to the library. Audio already downloaded onto that device stays on that device — own.audio can’t reach out and remove files from hardware you no longer control. If that matters, it’s the reason to sign out promptly rather than a reason not to.
Tidying an old list
Two things make the list longer than you’d expect, and neither is a fault:
- Signing in again creates a new entry rather than replacing the old one, so a device you’ve reinstalled or re-authorised several times can appear more than once.
- Anything that has ever signed in with your account is listed, including short-lived or scripted sessions, which show a generic name.
Entries that read Never used are safe to sign out — they’ve never actually played or synced anything.
