Privacy and telemetry

Without an accountCopy Anchor Link

Without an account, Blame sends no usage telemetry. Agents call only the AI provider you pick, and the app checks for updates at launch.

With an accountCopy Anchor Link

With an account, the app sends usage metrics to api.blame.so: durations, token counts, error types, and outcomes, used to make agents and previews more reliable.

It never sends prompts, code, file paths, commands or their output, tool arguments, or keys, and the server filters them out a second time.

Turn it offCopy Anchor Link

Open Settings → Desktop → Privacy. It turns off usage telemetry, and also the update check at launch.

On Windows, the installer offers the same switches before installing.

Where your code goesCopy Anchor Link

• Agents, worktrees, and previews run on your computer (see Isolation).
• Code is sent to the AI provider you choose when an agent needs it.
• Cloud Previews, part of Blame Cloud, sync a workspace snapshot to a managed sandbox.
