## Disabling telemetry

To disable telemetry, set `MUX_DISABLE_TELEMETRY` before starting the app:
Toggle **Usage Telemetry** off in **Settings → General**. The change applies immediately (no restart) and persists in `~/.mux/config.json` as `telemetryEnabled: false`.

Alternatively, set `MUX_DISABLE_TELEMETRY` to exactly `1` before starting the app (other values like `true` are ignored):

```bash
MUX_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1 mux
```

This disables telemetry collection at the backend level.
The environment variable is a hard override: when set to `1`, telemetry stays off regardless of the Settings toggle, and the toggle renders disabled with a note saying so. Both switches disable collection at the backend level.
