About Ackee

Ackee is a self-hosted analytics tool for website owners who care about privacy. It runs on your own server, analyzes traffic to your sites and shows useful statistics in a minimal interface. The project argues that you do not need to track every detail of your visitors, and it anonymizes collected data so that individual users cannot be identified.

The developers position Ackee for people who do not need a full-featured marketing analytics platform such as Google Analytics or Matomo. It offers a GraphQL API with a playground, a live demo and a website with documentation. The server is a Node.js application that stores its data in a database you operate.

Ackee is MIT-licensed and designed for self-hosting, so there is no vendor-run cloud version. It suits bloggers, small businesses and developers who want straightforward traffic numbers without cookies or third-party data sharing.
