Warp currently requires a login to enable cloud-based features, like A.I. Command Search and Block Sharing, along with team features on the roadmap.

In case there was any confusion, Warp never sends the contents of terminal commands and outputs to our servers (unless a user explicitly chooses to use the "Block Sharing" feature).

What Warp currently sends in regard to telemetry is listed here: https://docs.warp.dev/getting-started/privacy#exhaustive-tel....

Still too much telemetry in my opinion. Is it possible to opt out, perhaps for a price?

We are actively working on making telemetry opt out. We are very sympathetic to concerns about telemetry and data collection and try to be as transparent as possible about what we collect and why. We only collect metadata and never command input or output (you can see the full list of events we track here: https://docs.warp.dev/getting-started/privacy#exhaustive-tel....

We initially required telemetry for all users while in beta so that we could have a better understand of usage patterns and improve the product in its early stages. As we mature, we are able to better extrapolate from a larger sample size without requiring telemetry.

It’s a checkbox/boolean whose persisted value is checked in an if statement on your network calls.

It shouldn’t be opt out in the first place, it should be opt in.

Yes! We are working on opt-out for telemetry.

the fact it is an "opt-out" rather than "opt-in" you are working on, makes it an instant nope from me

This should be opt-in instead of opt-out.
