LaunchAmp Analytics
Every maker needs website analytics. Just take mine!
Admittedly, mine is much more complex, but this one is meant to be usable by everyone. Feel free to adapt it to your needs. If it helps one of you, it was worth it.
The demo is the real dashboard running on sample data. It is read-only. The download needs a LaunchAmp account.
Why I built it
I tried several analytics tools. Some did not do what I needed, some cost too much, and some were plastered with ads. So I built my own.
What it records
The page, the host of the referring site, the device class and a visitor token that changes every day. It never records a cookie, an IP address or a country.
Where your data lives
In your own database, on your own web space. Nothing is sent to LaunchAmp.
How it feels
Reports in the style of Google Analytics, with highlights, sources including AI assistants, and funnels for your goals.

Questions
- Does it contact LaunchAmp?
- No. The package never contacts LaunchAmp or anyone else: no licence check, no update check, no telemetry.
- What if I lose my web space?
- Download it again from your account and install it again. Your data is in your database.
- Updates?
- There are no updates: no new features. Bug and security fixes come only as a new download in your account.
- Do I need a cookie banner?
- Not for the tracking: it sets no cookies and stores no IP address. You are the controller of your visitors' data, so you still mention the tool in your privacy policy; a ready-made paragraph is included. This is not legal advice.
- What do I need?
- PHP 8.1 or newer, MySQL or MariaDB, and a folder on your web space.
- Will there be a hosted version?
- It is planned. Leave your address on the list above and we write once, when it is ready.
