Medama
Privacy-focused, cookie-free website analytics in a single fast binary
Overview
Medama is a lightweight, privacy-focused website analytics tool that runs without cookies and requires no consent banner. It ships as a single Go binary backed by DuckDB, making it extremely cheap and simple to self-host while still surfacing the core metrics most site owners need. A minimal alternative to Google Analytics.
Where it falls short of Google Analytics
- Bare-bones feature set: no funnels, cohorts, events depth, heatmaps, or session replay.
- Small, young project with a limited maintainer base.
- DuckDB backend is great for single-node but not built for very high-traffic multi-node scaling.
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
