What we measure and what we don’t

Why we measure it

Heartbeat

Once an hour the application will send a short message that it’s still running properly

To know wether our users are actively engaging with our application and when they stop using it - this helps us undestand who and what kind of users are really benefitting from our application, when they stop using it (bug, missing feature, expectation mismatch) and allows us to learn from their experience.

Active Windows

Amount of windows open on your system right now We’re NOT measuring any titles or any other data on your windows.

To have a sense of how many windows are running on a system at any given time.

CPU Usage

How much CPU Meta is using
We’re NOT measuring any other CPU usage info on other apps.

To make sure we always stay within a very narrow performance envelope and that non of our updates cause the application to use more CPU than allowed

Storage Usage

Meta Lib Usage: How much storage is your Meta Library taking up on. Space Left on Device: How much storage space is left on your device.
We’re NOT measuring any details on your storage use outside of what Meta is taking up in storage and what's left on your device.

To make sure we never fill up your disk drive. Though meta is built to stop capturing once it reaches certain limit we want to make sure no update we push out accidentally breaks this and fills your hard drive.

Switch space

Switching to a space action
We’re NOT measuring what space name, title or content you’re switching to.

To know wether users use and engage with spaces.

Loaded a screen

Opening the Meta Bar
We’re NOT measuring what you type into the bar outside of the type of meta action you’re triggering.

To know wether users use and engage with the meta bar.

Open Rewind

Opening the Rewind
We’re NOT measuring what you Rewind to or search for.
No information is gathered in any shape on the content of your Rewind.

To know wether users use and engage with the Rewind.

Time spent in Default Space vs. Non-Default

After switching to another space we update the time spent in the default space vs. all other spaces.
We’re NOT measuring what your spaces are called
We’re NOT measuring what you have open in them
We’re NOT measuring what your interacting with in them

To know wether users use and engage with spaces and wether this feature helps them organize their work into non-Default spaces and to what degree.

Amount of spaces

We’re measuring the amount of spaces you have created or deleted.
We’re NOT measuring what those spaces are called or what you do in them.

To know wether users use and engage with spaces.

Screen Resolution

We’re measuring your screen size.

Screen size is highly related to disk space - we measure this so we can see if a large part of our audience uses large or multiple screen and we can make decisions to optimize for those use cases.

Mac Operating System

We’re measuring the version of the Operating system you’re running.

To know which OS our users are currently using.
