Ackee
Self-hosted, privacy-focused Node.js analytics with a minimal interface
Overview
Ackee is a self-hosted, Node.js-based analytics tool focused on privacy and simplicity. It anonymizes tracked data while still surfacing useful per-site statistics in a clean, minimal interface, storing data in MongoDB. A good fit for developers who want a small, no-frills Google Analytics alternative with a GraphQL API.
Where it falls short of Google Analytics
- Very limited feature set: no funnels, cohorts, heatmaps, or session replay.
- Aggressive anonymization means less granular insight than commercial tools.
- Requires MongoDB, which is heavier than a SQLite single-binary option for such a simple tool.
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
