  Fugu is simple, privacy-friendly, open-source and self-hostable product analytics. 🐡 (by shafy)

Fugu doesn’t track unique users, not even anonymously. I believe that you can get enough insights without doing that, and that the incremental insights you get by tracking unique users is not worth the privacy trade-off. You can read more about my thinking in this post linked in the footnotes [1]:

I’ve used Mixpanel, Amplitude and PostHog before, and while they are good tools, they lacked the privacy and simplicity I was looking for. I didn’t need (nor wanted) integrations with other tools, screen recordings, feature flags, retention analyses and so forth.

That’s why I started to work on Fugu sometime last year and went in October. I’ve got a day job, and I only get to work on Fugu for a couple of hours each week.

You can host the open-source version yourself for free, forever, without any feature restrictions. Additionally, I offer a managed cloud version and charge $9/month for it. You can try the cloud version for free - you don’t need to pay as long as you only track events in test mode (it’s meant for testing, and those events are deleted after 14 days).

Fugu is a Ruby on Rails monolith. I use Postgres for the database and Stimulus for the little JavaScript I need. For the charts, I use the awesome Chart.js library.
