Overview
ctx is local-first for normal desktop use, but different kinds of data flow through different systems.
Use Settings -> Analytics and related preferences to manage product telemetry behavior where those controls are available.
What to expect
- Your repository and task state stay on the machine or remote host you control.
- Model prompts and responses still go to whichever provider or router you connect.
- Product telemetry settings are separate from model/provider traffic.
Practical privacy operations
- Keep telemetry settings explicit and reviewed.
- Avoid sharing sensitive repository data in issue reports.
- Use minimal reproduction details when reporting bugs externally.
- Re-check analytics preferences after major updates or when moving between environments.
Support-sharing guideline
When reporting issues, share:
- clear reproduction steps
- minimal relevant logs
- no unnecessary secrets or proprietary data
