An open-source analytics tool that tracks a product’s website and desktop app as one connected journey.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-30 issue.

Field notes

The product models a continuous lifecycle from visit through download, install, first run, activation, and payment, rather than treating web and desktop analytics as separate datasets. Its page specifies a sub-3KB-gzipped vanilla TypeScript web tag, person-level funnels, release-based retention, and client-stamped timestamps for offline events. The project is presented under AGPL-3.0 with one Dockerfile, self-hosting, and a hosted option.
