Powerful analytics without the privacy concerns
No cookies, no device identifiers, and the visitor's IP address is never stored. Only a hash that changes daily.
See visitor activity as it happens. Beautiful, simple dashboard with all the metrics that matter.
Under 3KB over the wire (gzipped). Won't slow down your site. Zero impact on page load performance.
Track signups, purchases, downloads. Set conversion goals and measure what matters to your business.
Automatic tracking of external links. See which affiliate links, CTAs, and resources get clicked.
Invite team members with role-based access. Owners, admins, and viewers with granular permissions.
Find broken links automatically. See which pages visitors tried to access and fix issues fast.
Share analytics publicly with a secret link. Perfect for transparency and stakeholder reporting.
RESTful API for custom integrations. Export data, build dashboards, automate reporting.
Define the steps as URL paths and see how many visitors reach each one, and exactly where they drop off.
Track purchases, refunds and per-product revenue in any currency, alongside the traffic that produced them.
A combined view across every website you track, so you can compare them without switching dashboards.
A visitor whose browser sends Do Not Track is not recorded at all. Not anonymised, not counted separately. Nothing is written.
Put a password on a shared dashboard, so the link alone is not enough. Change or remove it and everyone who unlocked it is signed out.
Spots traffic spikes, bot floods and referrer spam against your own baseline, and can email you when something moves.
UTM source, medium and campaign are parsed automatically, so you can see which links actually brought people in.
Opt into a weekly or monthly summary of your numbers, delivered to your inbox. No login required to read it.

Every analytics product says it respects privacy. Here is what that means here, specifically enough that you can go and verify it.
Every table holding your data has row-level security policies, and the application connects as a role those policies apply to. A bug in our code cannot show your data to someone else, because the database refuses independently.
We truncate the address first, IPv4 to a /24 and IPv6 to a /48, then hash it with the browser, your domain and a salt that changes every day. The same visitor tomorrow is a different hash, and everyone on the same network is the same one.
Not truncated, not encrypted, not anywhere. There is no column for it, and none for the user agent either. Country comes from a database on our own server, so your visitors' addresses are never sent to a third party.
No cookie, no localStorage, no fingerprint. The script sends an event and forgets. That is why no consent banner is needed, rather than a banner being technically avoidable.
Passwords, session tokens and API tokens are all hashed. A copy of our database grants access to nothing. Sessions are Secure, HttpOnly and SameSite, and the dashboard loads no third-party scripts at all.
Hosted with Bahnhof. Your data stays there, is not replicated to other regions, and is deleted automatically after 24 months. Our only other supplier is the one that sends the emails, in the Netherlands.

None of this has to be taken on trust. The code is public, including the tests that check the claims on this page.
Argusmetrics is AGPL-3.0 and the source is public today. A packaged self-host release is still being finished. Until then, the hosted version above is the supported way to use it.
