About this project
Rybbit is described by its maintainers as a modern, open-source and privacy-friendly alternative to Google Analytics for web and product analytics. The README states that setup takes only a couple of minutes, and that there are two ways to start: the vendor's hosted service, or self-hosting on your own VPS. Documentation is provided for installation, configuration and usage, and a live demo running on a production site is linked.
Reported key features (as listed in the README):
- Core web analytics metrics including sessions, unique users, pageviews, bounce rate and session duration.
- Session replays.
- Cookieless, privacy-oriented tracking.
- Customizable goals, retention, user journeys and funnels dashboards.
- Advanced filtering across 15+ dimensions.
- Custom events with JSON properties.
- Three-level location tracking (country, region, city) with map visualizations.
- Real-time dashboard.
- Support for organizations and an unlimited number of sites.
The README also contains a feature comparison table against GA4, Plausible and Cloudflare Analytics. This is the project's own comparison rather than an independent evaluation, and it lists open-source licensing, self-hosting, cookieless tracking, advanced maps, advanced filters, web vitals, session details, user profiles, session replays, funnels, user journeys, retention analysis, goals and events, real-time dashboards, custom JSON events, error tracking, public dashboards and organizations. Notes indicate that web vitals are marked as cloud-only, and that Plausible's community edition has more limited features than its cloud version. Screenshots illustrate the map, session replay, journeys, funnels, goals, users, errors, retention and web vitals views.
Deployment scope is a web/product analytics platform: it ingests browser-side tracking data and presents it through dashboards, with optional self-hosting for full control over the data. Licensing is AGPL-3.0, contribution guidance is provided in CONTRIBUTE.md, and community support is offered through Discord. The repository also embeds a star-history chart.
Because most capability statements above come from the project's own README and comparison table, readers should confirm specific features and current limitations against the latest documentation before relying on them.
