Trust
The nothing guarantee.
We turn down feature requests constantly. Not because we lack the engineering time, but because most of them would require the product to do something. Here is exactly what we guarantee it will never do instead.
No filesystem access
No reads, no writes, no temp files, no config left behind. Nothing about your machine changes by running trynothing.
No network requests
No telemetry, no analytics, no phone-home, no update checks. The CLI cannot leak what it never collects.
No credentials
Never asks for an API key, a token, or a login. There is no account to compromise.
Always exits 0
Including on Ctrl+C. A tool that does nothing should never fail its way into doing something, like exiting non-zero.
No feature creep
Every feature request is measured against one question: does this make the product do something? If yes, it's declined.
If a feature request or an issue was closed with a link to this page, this is why. It isn't a policy we enforce loosely — it's the only feature the product actually has.
