Telemetry Opt-Out

Disable heartbeat tracking, round-trip checks, and crash reports. Learn how to configure your OrBit daemon to run in absolute silent mode.

Method 1: Global Environment Variable

Set the standard environment variable globally in your terminal shell (`.bashrc`, `.zshrc`, or Windows Environment Settings). The Rust daemon automatically checks this state before initiating websocket telemetry threads.

ORBIT_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1

Method 2: Daemon Config JSON

Alternatively, modify your local JSON config located at `~/.config/orbit/config.json` (or `%APPDATA%\orbit\config.json` on Windows):

{
  "sync": {
    "local_loopback_only": true
  },
  "telemetry": {
    "enabled": false
  }
}

Method 3: Tauri Desktop GUI & VS Code Settings

In the Tauri native app, toggle the Telemetry switch under settings. In VS Code, search settings for orbit.telemetry.enabled and check the box to false. All settings dynamically bind to prevent analytic transmissions.
