Tracker: The tracking script is less than 1KB.
Live analytics: The product offers real-time analytics for website performance and user interactions.
Privacy: The project says it does not use cookies, IP addresses, or other identifiers to track individual users.
Visitor counting: It uses browser cache headers to distinguish new and returning visitors, resetting the Last-Modified timestamp daily.
Location: It estimates a visitor’s country from their browser timezone and cannot determine their exact city or region.
Custom properties: Custom properties can add metadata to page views and click events, then be used to filter and segment dashboard data.
Click events: Click tracking can record custom events on elements marked with the data-m:click attribute.
API: The API supports integration with personal or professional dashboards and provides an OpenAPI specification at /openapi.yaml on each analytics instance.
Deployment: The software is distributed as a single binary with no additional database setup, and also has prebuilt Docker images.
Hosting requirements: The installation guide recommends a 512MB VM for most small websites; storage needs grow with traffic.

Deployment integrations: The documentation provides deployment guides for Docker, Fly.io, and Railway.
