Counter (counter.dev) is an open-source, privacy-friendly web analytics service. A lightweight tracking snippet POSTs a single aggregated hit per visit to a public collect endpoint (t.counter.dev), and a token-authenticated dashboard data feed returns aggregated stats. Counter uses no cookies, no logging, and no IP fingerprinting. It is AGPL-3.0 licensed and can be self-hosted; the hosted service is pay-what-you-want.
