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.

Anytype’s documentation: Analytics & Tracking page

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.io
  • telemetry.anytype.io
  • sentry.anytype.io
  • amplitude.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.io

If you use Windows, this file may be located at C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.
