Cially

Cially is an open-source analytics dashboard for Discord servers that combines a bot, an API, and a full-stack web application to surface real-time insights and historical statistics about server activity. It captures events, stores structured records, and resolves IDs to human-readable entities to present engagement and growth metrics.

Key Features

• Real-time collection of Discord events via a dedicated bot and internal API
• Message analytics, activity insights, and growth/engagement metrics for servers
• Full-stack Next.js web dashboard with user search, UI customization, and reports
• Pocketbase-backed storage providing a lightweight embedded database and auth
• ID resolution between bot and web app so names and latest states are always accurate
• Docker-friendly deployment and configuration for self-hosted environments
• Privacy-first defaults: message content is not stored unless explicitly enabled

Use Cases

• Community managers tracking message activity, peak times, and member engagement
• Moderators auditing joins/leaves and activity trends to inform moderation policies
• Server owners measuring growth and the impact of events, campaigns, or changes

Limitations and Considerations

• License restricts commercial use (Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0), which may limit some deployments
• Designed for small-to-medium servers; very large servers may require tuning or more robust storage/retention strategies

Cially is suitable for teams and communities that need transparent, privacy-conscious analytics for Discord. It focuses on actionable metrics and simplifies deployment for self-hosting while prioritizing control over collected data.
