Telemetry

Amical sends product telemetry — usage events, error reports, and quality metadata — to help the team understand how the app is used and where it breaks. The toggle is in Settings → Advanced → Anonymous Telemetry, on by default.

What gets sent

Telemetry events cover:

• Lifecycle — app launches, onboarding screens reached, recording started/stopped, errors.
• Performance — transcription latency, model load time, queue length.
• Quality — when you press the Report flag on a history entry, Amical attaches the audio, the transcript, and the feedback you wrote, so the team can improve the speech model.

Telemetry never includes:

• Your transcripts as content (unless you explicitly hit Report).
• Your notes.
• Audio recordings (unless you explicitly hit Report).
• Custom vocabulary entries.

Turn it off

Settings → Advanced → Anonymous Telemetry is a single switch. Flip it off and Amical stops sending events from that point on.

Two side-effects to know about:

• The Report flag in Settings → History is disabled while telemetry is off — the action and its data live on the same pipe.
• Crash reports stop too, which means we won't see the bug you're hitting unless you tell us about it.

Machine ID

Each install gets a stable Machine ID (Settings → Advanced → Machine ID). It's how telemetry events from one install group together without naming you. The Copy button puts it on your clipboard — useful when filing bug reports so the team can find your events.

Source

Amical is open source. The telemetry events and what they contain live in the codebase at github.com/amicalhq/amical. If something here doesn't match what you see, the code is the source of truth.
