Privacy & telemetry

AppQR counts how many times it is used. That is all.

When you run a command, one number goes up on a server. No details about you, your app, or your campaign ever leave your machine. Here is exactly what happens — and what does not.

The exact payload sent to the server
{ "event": "qr_generated" }

One field. One value. The server receives this, increments a counter by one, and discards everything else — including your IP address, which is never stored.

Sent
✓ Which command was run
setup, campaign, etc.
✓ Whether run by a human or an AI agent
detected via terminal type
Never sent
✗  Your IP address
✗  Your App Store or Play Store URLs
✗  Your campaign parameters
✗  Your app name or ID
✗  Your machine, OS, or Node version
✗  File paths or output directories
The five counters — what they tell us
installed
How many developers have the tool
Fires once, on the very first run on a machine. Never again.
setup
How many apps are using AppQR
Fires each time a new app runs setup for the first time.
human_run
How often developers use it directly
Fires when run from an interactive terminal — a real person typing a command.
agent_run
How often AI agents are using it
Fires when run from CI or a non-interactive environment — a signal of agent adoption.
qr_generated
Total QR codes generated
Fires on every successful generation. Tells us how actively the tool is being used.
Opt out

Don't want to send anything at all? Set this environment variable. AppQR will skip every ping silently.
