I just installed it. You are presented with an option to disable telemetry once setup is complete in the form of a CLI command (fig settings telemetry.disabled true). But, for some reason, you can't disable it during setup.

However, during setup, you need to "sign-up" by sharing your email - you can't skip this step as far as I could tell.

This is incorrect. If you opt-out, no telemetry events are sent at all.

> Telemetry: Fig has basic telemetry in order to help us make product decisions. We currently give the you option to opt out of all non-essential telemetry by running `fig settings app.disableTelemetry true`. This removes everything except for one daily ping. We use this ping to help us understand how many people were using Fig.

Have you checked this, i.e. checked your network traffic for 24 hours after installing and registering Fig?

mschrage (the author of the comment you're responding to) seems to have a personal affiliation with the project.

If you assume he's contributing here in good faith (my assumption) then I'd say it's safe to say that it does in fact disable telemetry.

You can, but unless you own that address you won’t be able to use the app as you’re expected to type a code sent to the provided address

Wouldn't `[email protected]` be a better testing email.

I use [email protected]. So even they send you some activation link you just go there and click it. Very convenient page.
