How to opt-out from Anytype Analytics & Tracking
Although Anytype states on its documentation that it is not yet possible to opt-out from analytics:
It will be possible to opt-out of analytics in the future.
You can still prevent Anytype from tracking you.
All you have to do is to block the following requests from leaving your computer:
graylog.anytype.iotelemetry.anytype.iosentry.anytype.ioamplitude.anytype.io
The best thing would be to use custom DNS so it can be blocked for any devices where you use Anytype (computers, mobiles, tablets…)
I use NextDNS which is cheap and awesome to block ads and trackers at the DNS level. I could not live without it. You could also set up a PiHole or Adguard Home if you are tech-savvy.
If you only use Anytype on your computer, a quick and easy solution is to edit the /etc/hosts file (on macOS or Linux) and add the following at the end of the file:
0.0.0.0 graylog.anytype.io
0.0.0.0 telemetry.anytype.io
0.0.0.0 sentry.anytype.io
0.0.0.0 amplitude.anytype.ioIf you use Windows, this file may be located at C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.
