mux collects anonymous usage telemetry to help improve the product.

​
Privacy policy

  • No personal information: mux does not collect usernames, project names, file paths, or code content.
  • Random IDs only: Only randomly generated workspace IDs are sent.
  • No hashing: Hashing is vulnerable to rainbow table attacks.
  • Transparent payload: See exactly what is sent in src/common/telemetry/payload.ts.

​
What mux tracks

All telemetry events include basic system information:
  • Application version
  • Operating system platform (darwin, win32, linux)
  • Electron version

​
Specific events

  • App started: When the app launches (includes a first-launch flag)
  • Workspace creation: When a new workspace is created (workspace ID only)
  • Workspace switching: When you switch between workspaces (workspace IDs only)
  • Message sending: When messages are sent (model, mode, message length rounded to base-2)
  • Errors: Error types and context (no sensitive data)

​
What mux does not track

  • Your messages or code
  • Project names or file paths
  • API keys or credentials
  • Usernames or email addresses
  • Any personally identifiable information

​
Disabling telemetry

To disable telemetry, set MUX_DISABLE_TELEMETRY before starting the app: 
MUX_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1 mux
This disables telemetry collection at the backend level.
Disabling telemetry also hides the Share button on assistant messages. Link sharing uses mux.md, a separate mux service, and is gated on telemetry enablement to respect your privacy preferences.
