GoatCounter

GoatCounter is a minimalist, privacy-aware web analytics tool created by a single developer. It's open source, can be self-hosted, and offers free hosted accounts for non-commercial use. The philosophy is simple: provide useful analytics without tracking individuals. GoatCounter doesn't use cookies, doesn't collect personal data, and the script is tiny (just ~3.5KB). While it lacks the polish of commercial alternatives, GoatCounter is beloved by the indie developer community for its simplicity, ethics, and the fact that it's maintained by an independent developer.
