Origin Story

By Jack Ellis & Paul Jarvis

The Problem

Paul Jarvis wanted analytics that respected user privacy and didn't require cookie consent banners on his personal site.

Building It

Launched in 2018. Grew steadily through content marketing and word of mouth in the indie hacker community.

What It Means

One of the first commercially successful privacy-first analytics tools, paving the way for a whole category.

The Dream

To make privacy-focused analytics the default, not the alternative.
