Keep usage analytics off until someone turns it on by junonya · Pull Request #5365 · milind-soni/OpenMausBot

junonya · 2026-11-11T01:17:36Z

What changed

Usage analytics (PostHog) is now opt-in. It stays off until someone turns it on in Settings → General → Usage analytics.

src/lib/analytics.ts: analyticsEnabled() is true only when the stored choice is an explicit "0", meaning the user switched it on. A fresh install, an install that never touched the switch, and unreadable storage all count as off. In those cases posthog-js is never loaded and posthog.init() is never called.
The storage key omb-analytics-opt-out keeps its name, so existing explicit choices and workspace backups keep working.
The desktop preference (desktop-prefs.json) is unchanged and still takes precedence when it is set.
docs/analytics.md, the docs-site page and README.md now describe the opt-in behaviour.

Why

Sending usage events by default, before the user has made any choice, is a privacy risk for a desktop agent that runs on people's own machines. Making it opt-in means nothing leaves the machine unless the user asks for it.

How it was verified

vitest run src/lib/analytics* SettingsModal* browser-install* scripts/testing/analytics-docs.test.ts all pass.
A new test checks that a fresh install has analytics off, never loads PostHog and records nothing.
tsc --noEmit passes.
Not done: I did not run eslint, and I did not check network traffic in a packaged app.

Checklist

pnpm typecheck and pnpm test pass locally (typecheck and the affected test files; not the full suite)
Server behavior changes come with tests (no server change; client tests added)
No dist-server/ edits (it's build output)
macOS-only code is platform-gated; no shell: true / cmd.exe string-building
No secrets in logs, responses, events, or argv

Summary by CodeRabbit

Privacy
- Usage analytics now stays off until explicitly enabled in Settings → General → Usage analytics. The default is off on fresh installs and on each server’s settings page.
- When analytics is off, no analytics events or daily setup snapshots are sent.
- When enabled, analytics may include anonymous product events and a daily setup count, but not keys, names, addresses, or conversations.
Documentation
- Updated analytics guidance to explain the default setting, how to enable or disable analytics, and what information may be sent.

Walkthrough

Analytics now requires explicit opt-in through the stored consent value. Tests and documentation reflect that analytics stays off until enabled, including on fresh installs.

Changes: Analytics consent

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Explicit opt-in gate and validation `src/lib/analytics.ts`, `src/lib/analytics.test.ts`, `src/lib/analytics.wire.test.ts`	`analyticsEnabled()` now enables analytics from local storage only when the value is `"0"`. Storage errors leave analytics disabled. Tests cover fresh installs, unusable storage, and a seeded analytics choice.
Document default-off analytics `README.md`, `apps/docs/content/docs/security/analytics.mdx`, `docs/analytics.md`	The README and analytics guides describe opt-in analytics, the default-off setting, and the behavior when analytics is off.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to f2f8b

Analytics now stays off by default, as intended. However, the snapshot tests were not updated for the opt-in gate, so the full test suite will fail until they seed consent.

Update the snapshot tests for the opt-in gate.

The enabled-path tests clear storage but do not opt in, so sendDailySnapshot() returns before gathering. The full Vitest run can fail. Seed consent, retain a no-consent test, and use an in-memory choice for the storage-error test.

Suggested fix

beforeEach(() => { storage.clear(); + storage.set("omb-analytics-opt-out", "0"); ph.captured = []; vi.stubGlobal("localStorage", memoryStorage); });

it("sends once per page load when storage throws, through the page's own memory", async () => { - const { snapshot } = await freshModules(); + const { analytics, snapshot } = await freshModules(); + analytics.setAnalyticsEnabled(true); vi.stubGlobal("localStorage", { getItem: () => { throw new Error("denied"); }, setItem: () => { throw new Error("denied"); } });

describe("an opted-out install", () => { + it("captures nothing without consent", async () => { + storage.delete("omb-analytics-opt-out"); + const { snapshot } = await freshModules(); + const sources = hostileSources(); + expect(await snapshot.sendDailySnapshot(hostileState(), sources, DAY)).toBe(false); + expect(sources.calls).toEqual([]); + expect(ph.captured).toEqual([]); + expect(storage.has("omb-analytics-snapshot-day")).toBe(false); + }); + it("captures nothing and asks no server, bridge or provider anything", async () => {
