Pulse is a lightweight, privacy-first website analytics tool that tracks visitors, pages, and referrers using a single script tag with no cookies or fingerprinting. It offers a live dashboard showing page views, referrers, devices, and countries, and can be used as a hosted service or self-hosted since it is open source. A developer REST API is available for Pro subscribers to access analytics data and manage projects programmatically.
