Chime has in-process crash reporting. Which is both open source (on our Github page) and you can opt-out via prefs. No other telemetry of any kind. To be honest, I'm not even sure how telemetry like that could even be used to be benefit us. But, perhaps we're just not in that mindset.

Regardless, there's nothing like this in Chime and there never will be. But I get that not everyone wants a closed-source tool. There are many open source options, including a number of high-quality macOS native ones.

That’s nice to hear. But why not release the source code?

Many parts of the system are open, and more are coming. We're just not savvy enough to be able to open source the whole thing and also continue to afford to work on it.

Sounds like you work on exclusively open source software. You're lucky!

I explicitly choose it, it’s absolutely nothing to do with luck. Software freedoms are some of our most important freedoms.

All of us who know how to program and build good products have such a privilege.
