A privacy-first product analytics and customer engagement platform, self-hosted for organizations that need full ownership of behavioral data.
Countly measures how people use mobile, web, desktop and connected device applications, then acts on what it finds through engagement features in the same system. Deploying on premises or in a private cloud settles the data ownership, compliance and infrastructure questions a SaaS-only analytics tool leaves open.
The server runs on Node.js with MongoDB behind it, and its architecture is plugin based, so existing features can be extended or changed and new capabilities added without forking. A documented read and write API covers everything the dashboard shows, and data can be sent in from any source.
This repository holds the server side, which carries most of the product.
- Analytics: session, view and event collection with built-in reports and customizable dashboards.
- Crash reporting: errors from iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter, Node.js, Unity, Java and JavaScript.
- Engagement: rich interactive push notifications for iOS and Android plus in-app rating widgets.
- Remote configuration: adjust an application's logic, appearance and behavior without a release.
- Data Manager: plan and manage events and event segmentations before they sprawl.
- Compliance Hub: consent collection and data subject request management.
Installation assumes a fresh Ubuntu, CentOS or RHEL machine with ports 80 and 443 free, and one command installs every dependency; a bundled shell script and Docker images are the alternatives. The code is AGPL-3.0 with a modified section 7. Countly Lite is free for individuals and small teams under a non-commercial license, while Enterprise and the managed Flex offering add the full suite, SLA and direct support.
Web and product analytics platform that tracks real-time events and user journeys for teams studying how people use their product.
Understanding what people do inside a product usually means running a page view counter next to a separate analytics tool. Vemetric is an open source platform that keeps both views of the same traffic in one dashboard, so website behavior and product behavior are read together.
The platform records custom events alongside ordinary traffic and lets you slice them with filters to isolate the segment worth understanding. Tracking works across several subdomains, so a marketing site and the application behind it report into the same project.
The feature set stays deliberately small.
- Real-time analytics: visits and events appear as they happen rather than after a delay.
- User journeys: behavior tracking follows the path a person takes through the product.
- Custom events: anything the product cares about can be sent and counted next to page traffic.
- Filtering: conditions narrow the data down to the interactions you want to study.
- Subdomain tracking: one project covers a marketing site and the app it leads into.
Vemetric is licensed under AGPLv3, so a derivative that is distributed or offered as a network service has to be released under the same license with its source code available to every user of that service. Self hosting is planned as a Community Edition covering the dashboard and user journeys, but the maintainers call it early and not yet a priority, which leaves the hosted service as the current way in.
