Managed fork of T3 Code for macOS on Apple Silicon. Optional cloud, analytics and auto-update paths are disabled by a policy baked into the build.
curl -fsSL https://github.com/rakutenanalytics/t3code/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bashInstalls T3 Code Safe.app and the t3safe command. Checks every download against the release SHA256SUMS.
Update: run the same command again (quit the app first). t3safe update does the same.
Other ways to install (CLI only, pinned version, manual DMG, verification) and troubleshooting: docs/safe-fork/INSTALL.md.
Check an install with t3safe doctor. If macOS blocks the app: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/T3 Code Safe.app" (adjust the path). Uninstall: INSTALL.md.
Install and sign in to at least one provider CLI (for example Codex or Claude Code) before starting a thread.
| Area | Safe fork |
|---|---|
| Product analytics | Off |
| T3 Connect, cloud tunnels | Off |
| Desktop auto-update | Off (update with the command above) |
| OTLP export, feedback upload | Off |
| LAN / Tailscale access | On |
| App, data, command | T3 Code Safe.app, ~/.t3-safe, t3safe |
| Official T3 Code | Runs side by side; data shared only if you opt in |
These gates are not a network sandbox: providers, Git and browsers still reach their own hosts. Details: docs/safe-fork/README.md.
Policy is fixed when the build is made. An installed app cannot be changed by environment variable, setting or flag. To change it, edit security/managed-policy.json and rebuild: see Choose allowed capabilities. Check what an install enforces with t3safe doctor.
These guides are written for the official build. In the safe fork, replace t3 with t3safe and ~/.t3 with ~/.t3-safe, and note that features disabled by policy are unavailable.
