questions
licence-decision.mdheld open · reviewed at 500is it open source?
The decision is written down and deliberately held open until 2027-01-01 or 500 installs, whichever lands first, and nothing shipped before then is allowed to quietly close it. We are not going to promise you a licence we have not picked.
what-leaves.md7 events, everdoes it send anything anywhere?
Skribbl sends one event saying it was opened the first and second time you run it, at your third, fifth and tenth open, and the first time you open it a week and a month after installing. Seven, each sent once, then nothing. The payload is the app version, your OS and how many times you have opened it. The id is a random string tied to nothing, and DO_NOT_TRACK=1 switches it off before one is even generated. Whether people are still here in a month is the only thing we can currently learn about whether this is worth building. The updater also asks skribbl.dev for the latest version about 8 seconds after launch and every 6 hours after that.
No pageviews, no feature counters, nothing about what is on your canvas. Your canvases, terminals and scrollback stay on your disk, the hook server binds 127.0.0.1 on an ephemeral port, and the git service can never push. The agent you run inside Skribbl talks to its own provider with your credentials, exactly as it would in your terminal. The privacy page writes all of it out, including the counter on this website.
which agents report usage?
Codex, Grok and Gemini launch, link and take dispatch, but they do not report usage yet, so the meter cannot see what they spend.

macOS is what ships today.
your-auth.mdno key, no proxydo I need API keys?
Skribbl runs the CLIs already on your machine, with the auth you already have. It never holds a key and never proxies a request.
