FAQ

We send anonymous, allow‑listed events (app start/close, feature usage names, app/platform versions) to PostHog.
We do not send code, file paths, repo names, prompts, or PII.

Disable telemetry:

• In the app: Settings → General → Privacy & Telemetry (toggle off)
• Or via env var before launch:

TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false

Full details: see docs/telemetry.md.

App data is local‑first. We store app state in a local SQLite database:

macOS:   ~/Library/Application Support/emdash/emdash.db
Windows: %APPDATA%\emdash\emdash.db
Linux:   ~/.config/emdash/emdash.db

Privacy Note: While Emdash itself stores data locally, when you use any coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Qwen, etc.), your code and prompts are sent to that provider's cloud API servers for processing. Each provider has their own data handling and retention policies.

You can reset the local DB by deleting it (quit the app first). The file is recreated on next launch.

Only if you want GitHub features (open PRs from Emdash, fetch repo info, GitHub Issues integration).
Install & sign in:

gh auth login

If you don’t use GitHub features, you can skip installing gh.

Emdash is provider‑agnostic and built to add CLIs quickly.
