Disable Telemetry

Opt out of anonymous usage data collection.

iii collects aggregated anonymous usage data to help improve the engine. No personal information is collected unless provided by you. Use this guide to opt out.

Steps

Set the following environment variable before running iii:

export III_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false

To make this permanent, add it to your shell profile (e.g. ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc):

echo 'export III_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

Result

iii will no longer send any anonymous usage data.

This setting controls anonymous usage data collection by the iii Engine. To disable OpenTelemetry observability instrumentation (traces, metrics, logs), set OTEL_ENABLED=false instead or pass enabled=False in your OtelConfig. See the OpenTelemetry Integration page for details.
