OpenShell Telemetry

← All reports

First public telemetry update, so there is no prior period to compare against. The Last 2 weeks column covers this two-week window; All-time is cumulative since telemetry landed on June 1, 2026 (~5 weeks). A large share of all-time activity falls within this two-week window. Numbers are aggregate counts only — see the Telemetry section of the main README for what's collected and how to opt out.
