Telemetry

mux collects anonymous usage telemetry to help us understand how the product is being used and improve it over time.

​
Privacy Policy

  • No personal information: We never collect usernames, project names, file paths, or code content
  • Random IDs only: Only randomly-generated workspace IDs are sent (impossible to trace back to you)
  • No hashing: We don’t hash sensitive data because hashing is vulnerable to rainbow table attacks
  • Transparent data: See exactly what data structures we send in src/common/telemetry/payload.ts

​
What We Track

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 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 We DON’T 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 the MUX_DISABLE_TELEMETRY environment variable before starting the app: 
MUX_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1 mux
This completely disables all telemetry collection at the backend level.
