Latest Release: v2.1.0

  • Enforced 14-Day Maximum Trial: The tool now enforces a maximum trial period of 14 days. If you specify a higher value, you'll get a warning and the tool will use 14 days.
  • Identity File Wipe for VS Code & Cursor: Removes identity-related files (logs, history, workspaceStorage) in both VS Code and Cursor config directories to further reduce tracking and improve reset reliability.
  • Custom Trial Duration: You can still use --days N to set your trial period, but it will be capped at 14 days.
  • Aggressive Data Wipe: All known Augment config, cache, and globalStorage data is wiped.
  • Randomized User/Device Info: Each reset generates new account, device, and user IDs.
  • Important Notes: The actual trial period is determined by the extension and may be limited to 14 days regardless of config. Each reset requires a new account. The tool now wipes more identity-related files, but results may vary if the extension adds new tracking methods in the future.
