What is umami?

Privacy-friendly web analytics does not have to mean giving up useful product signals. Umami gives you a clean self-hosted alternative to Google Analytics, Mixpanel, and Amplitude, with the strongest focus on simple deployment, fast dashboards, and owning your data.

Main components

• Web analytics dashboard for page views, visitors, referrers, devices, browsers, countries, and traffic sources.
• Event tracking for custom user actions, conversions, and product interactions.
• Audience segmentation to slice analytics by visitor attributes and behavior.
• User journey and cohort analysis for understanding how people move through your site or app.
• Shareable reports and charts for stakeholders without giving them access to your whole stack.
• TypeScript/Next.js application backed by PostgreSQL, deployable from source or with Docker Compose.

Clear use cases

• Replace Google Analytics on a company website where privacy, cookie-light tracking, and data ownership matter.
• Track product usage for a SaaS app without sending behavioral data to a third-party analytics vendor.
• Give marketing and content teams a simple dashboard for traffic, campaigns, referrers, and top pages.
• Monitor conversion events such as signups, downloads, outbound clicks, purchases, or onboarding steps.
• Run analytics for multiple client sites from one self-hosted instance managed by an agency or MSP.

The biggest strength is practical privacy-first analytics without enterprise complexity — Umami covers the core metrics most teams actually check every day, while staying much lighter than Google Analytics 4 or full product analytics suites. You get self-hosting, PostgreSQL storage, Docker-friendly deployment, and a dashboard non-technical users can understand, instead of paying for a black-box SaaS platform that captures more data than you need.

Best for developers, sysadmins, agencies, and privacy-conscious product teams that want reliable website and lightweight product analytics under their own control.
