Origin Story

By Martin Tournoij

The Problem

Even privacy-friendly analytics tools had more features than needed for a personal blog. Just wanted basic visitor counts without the complexity.

Building It

Built as a solo open-source project. Intentionally kept simple and minimal. Free for personal and non-commercial use.

What It Means

Analytics can be radically simple. Not every website needs a full analytics dashboard.

The Dream

To provide the simplest, most honest analytics tool possible.
