Telemetry

The Partyline CLI sends no telemetry: no usage pings, no analytics, no crash reports.

The CLI makes a background update check. At most once a day, partyline reads the latest release tag of partyline-sh/cli from GitHub's API, and ptln version does the same on demand. The request contains no install id, no account, no paths and no content; GitHub sees an ordinary unauthenticated API request from your IP address. The result is cached in ~/.partyline/version-check.json.

Turn it off with either variable:

export PARTYLINE_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1
export NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER=1

It is also off in CI (CI is set) and for dev builds.

PARTYLINE_TELEMETRY and DO_NOT_TRACK are still read for compatibility with older releases. With nothing to report to, they have no effect.

This setting disables update checks, not your agents' provider requests. Overview generation and automatic memory capture invoke Claude Code and use your account. Security describes those AI requests and how to disable capture.
