Telemetry

eyes4ai collects anonymous usage telemetry to help track adoption and catch bugs. No personally identifiable information is ever sent.

What’s collected

Each event includes:

• Event type (install, uninstall, serve, report)
• OS and architecture (darwin, linux, x64, arm64)
• Node.js version
• eyes4ai version
• Timestamp

That’s it. No usernames, no file paths, no repo names, no prompt content.

How to disable

Any of these will disable telemetry:

# Environment variable
export EYES4AI_NO_TELEMETRY=1

# Or the standard DO_NOT_TRACK convention
export DO_NOT_TRACK=1

# Or per-command flag
eyes4ai report --no-telemetry

Implementation

Telemetry is powered by PostHog and is fire-and-forget. It never blocks CLI operations and failures are silently ignored. A stable anonymous ID is derived from a SHA-256 hash of your machine’s hostname and username — the raw values are never sent. The source code is fully transparent — see packages/ingestion/src/telemetry.ts.
