What HitKeep actually does
HitKeep is a privacy-first web analytics platform designed to track site traffic, user goals, funnels, and ecommerce activity. Distributed as a single binary with an embedded DuckDB database, it functions as a self-hosted alternative to mainstream tools like Google Analytics and Plausible.
Best fit: It suits teams that want to collect website metrics and manage user access locally while avoiding external cloud analytics providers.
Worth knowing: With a relatively small repository star count and an early development status, it may lack the maturity and extensive third-party integrations found in more established alternatives.
Deployment notes
Because it runs as a Go binary with an embedded database and optional Docker support, you will typically need to configure persistent storage for the database file and place it behind a reverse proxy to handle TLS.
