Medama Analytics is an open-source web analytics service designed for self-hosting with a strong focus on privacy. It provides useful traffic insights using a very small tracker script while avoiding cookies and other user identifiers.
Key Features
- Real-time analytics dashboards for monitoring traffic and user interactions
- Cookie-free tracking without storing IP addresses or additional identifiers
- Lightweight tracker (under 1KB) to minimize performance impact
- Single-binary deployment designed to run with minimal resources
- OpenAPI-based HTTP API for integrating analytics into custom dashboards and tools
Use Cases
- Privacy-friendly analytics for personal sites, blogs, and small business websites
- Replacing third-party analytics tools while keeping data under your control
- Embedding website metrics into internal dashboards via the API
Limitations and Considerations
- Built around a minimal-data approach, so it may not support identity-based or highly granular user tracking common in traditional analytics products
Medama Analytics is a good fit when you want actionable website metrics with minimal operational overhead and strong privacy defaults. Its lightweight tracker and API-first approach make it suitable for both simple sites and custom analytics integrations.
