Simple
Core design principle for this project - simplicity. Storywise doesn't deliver bells and whistles. Here, we keep it simple!
Private
With the self-hosted option, you can take full control of your data. No more uncertainty about where the data goes. You can literally bring your own database.
Open source
This project was born out of the desire to self-host. Storywise is open source so you can both self-host and trust what's under the hood.
Why storywise?
Do we really need a new analytics tool? Short answer - YES!
Simple
Did I mention "simple"? Yes, think I did already. But damn, that's the best part - it's simple. It's easy to use. It's easy to setup. It's easy to understand. It's easy to love.
Multi-database
We support multiple databases - Postgres, MongoDB, SQLite (LibSql) and TimescaleDB. Depending on what you're comfortable with, you can use the database of your choice.
Export & import your data
The data is yours. You can export and import your data at any time, which makes storywise easy to backup and extremely portable.
Privacy under your control
You get to choose where you want to store your data. And you get to choose how you integrate storywise into your apps: cookie/no-cookie, it's up to you.
Less is more
Sure, storywise is flexible. But not overly-flexible. And it's by design - simplicity is key for any new features we add. We want to keep it simple.
Open to contributions
Missing a feature? Storywise welcomes community contributions. We're open to pull requests and feature requests.

Want to join early?
At heart storywise is open source and made to self-host. However, for those who don't want to deal with the hassle of managing their own servers, we plan to launch a cloud version of storywise. It'll be the same open-source software, but we'll manage the servers for you.
